What a beautiful and thoughtful gift. Falls can happen so easily, and too quickly to even catch yourself. We have two large dogs but they know to stay still when I step over them, but my 3 yr. old grandson last year went sliding across the floor on his knees with his truck, just as I was carrying a load of dishes back from the table. Luckily I didn't hurt him when I fell on him and nothing broke, including me. Had several large bruises though. I hope your friend has a complete recovery soon, but the quilt will certainly brighten her recovery time!
