Went with a friend who's going through chemo. She is a quilter also. She made her own quilt and put foot pocket to help keep her feet warm which helped the rest of her. I had some extra hospital socks an gave those to her which help. She uses flannel all the way, 3 layers. She tied her quilt. It isn't really heavy but it is really warm. She a tiny thing, barely 5 foot and under a 100#s. She's going through her 2nd battle with breast cancer. When she feels good she works on quilts for others. She makes the most of any good day. If she only has a minute to work on a quilt, she doesn't waste that minute.
