When I first saw the Turning 20 pattern, I found acolleciton of fat quarters (10 I think) in bright fake batiks. So I made it for a personal sized quilt. It was indeed bright, cute, but bright. I shoved it into a box and kept trying to think who needed the quilt.
Well, a couple at church have a granddaughter who's had a world of trouble with epilepsy, and some other problems. I've been making things for "L" for a good while. I've knitted her scarves for Christmas for several years. A couple years ago, it finally came to me that "L" was the perfect fit for my bright Turning 10! I gave it to her a couple years ago. She's an adult now, but still living with her parents because of her many problems. They came in to visit Grandma for Christmas, Grandpa having died early last spring. I sat behind them at Christmas Mass last month. I'd not made anything for her for a while, but I happened to be wearing a fleece scarf that I passed on to her. She loved it.
Anyway, her mom and dad told me she sleeps with the bright blanket every night, even in the summer. Well, that just brought tears to my eyes.
The quilt is just a personal sized one.. On the bigger grid, it doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Simple quilt, simple fabrics. But it's probably my most prized quilt knowing the happiness it brought to a kiddo with health issues none of us want.
