So yeah, staying away from the pink ribbon logo was easy.
I chose blue/white/yellow because she's a BIG Dodgers fan and I've always thought it the most cheerful color combination in the world.

And love how you have transitioned the Dodgers colours to something totally feminine in a classic print!
Her wit is incredible and I hope she can keep it throughout her "fight".

You are so nice to make that quilt for your friend. I like what you are going to do with the applique. It will make the quilt funny and if she takes it to chemo, it will be what everyone talks about!

Finished sewing two strip lengths today. yikes that first one was soooooo long!!
I had made mine slightly larger than a standard jelly roll (those are 40 strips, mine is 68). I did some basic math after measuring the first strip length (2,310") and my quilt *should* come out to roughly 6' by 4' which is exactly what I wanted. I wanted enough to tuck under her feet, come up to her chin, and of course enough to cover her side-to-side (she's a lean 5' 3" tall).
so far I'm liking the way the strips are coming together, but hating the tediousness of the process!!
