If that is the pattern it looks like it would not be to hard. We are flying my sister back here to her family home to spend her last days with all of her siblings and other family members. She has requested to do a black/ red/ white or a quilt in the orange tone family.
I hate to ask but if anyone has any strips extra in either of these to color schemes it might be something that she could sew some of the strips with my sisters and I there to help her. She is a quilter and has cancer now about everywhere . They told her last week that she has maybe 2 weeks left . So her last requests is to get back to West Plains and to have us help her leave a quilt for her 2 girls and 2 granddaughters.
We us usually try to get together every year or two to have a sisters quilting vacation. This would of been her year, she was to show everyone how to appliqué . Needless to say that won't happen it is in her brain and she can not remember a lot. And can only quilt if someone is sitting with her to tell her how to do it.
if anyone has any of the colors that would work with this pattern and you don't mind sharing . Could you help with the strips. I would help with shipping and would not mind to send you a strip of something I have.
but if you can not that is ok. If I could ask for a prayer to be said for her to pass with little to no pain. She has been in a lot. Sorry to tag along with this but I guess I just needed to say a little about my sister Sherry. She has always been a quilter that always gives her quilts away to someone else that needed it or liked it . She or we never thought this would happen to us. I am expecting a new granddaughter my first and I also pray that it does not happen at the same time. One of my sisters ask me last night what would I do if it was at the same time. My answer was I don't know and I don't want to choose. How would you handle it? Sorry.
i have some blue and yellow that I could send if you email me the address.
