I can't wait to see the new ones this year. Please keep us posted!
kelly i have a copy of the better homes & gardens quilt pink magazine (2007) and many of the quilts in this magazine are not made from pink ribbon or breast cancer fabrics but a variety of pinks, purples, fuschias, blacks, florals, batiks, etc. they are some wonderful quilts. amy butler donated a quilt pattern named pink bliss which was not made in bc fabrics. be creative with your lap quilts and dont limit yourself to breast cancer fabrics. i am making my friend's quilt in seashell fabrics with a coupla pieces of bc fabric intertwined.
have fun with your lap quilts as i am sure the recipients will appreciate your efforts and thoughtfulness.
here is one of the blocks made for my friend's quilt.
