I am honored to have been asked by our local QRU (Quick Response Unit) to make a queen size quilt to be auctioned off this summer- proceeds to keep our Unit operational and running. Now this may not seem like much of a big deal but it is to me.. My late MIL was one of the FIRST starting up QRU members, and remained a member till she was diagnosed with lung cancer and passed away .. It is because of her, and after her death that I found the love for quilting.. Now I want to honor her memory somehow in this quilt.. Mom loved pigs..I have lots of pig fabric but need a pattern with a WOW effect but not extremely difficult.. Any suggestions with pics???

Memory wreath block at quilterscache would be nice

I love the way you want to incorporate your MILs memory in this quilt. Unless many of the unit remember her I would do something else. I have found that in our area raffle quilts made with star blocks attract more buyers and current colors attract more buyers. Just my thought for the day.:)

To show off your many pigs and add pleasing colors, maybe: Toad in a puddle, Han and Chicks, Children's Delight or Puss in the Corner. (that last one I made in memory of with Angels. These patterns are in one of my favorite books Quilts from The Quilt Makers Gift.

Good luck with the project. It's a wonderful thing to do.

Have to agree with dakotamaid ....you really need to make something that most of the community would like... Think you would be limiting the people that will participate in a auction for a quilt with pigs on it ( I love pigs but )
maybe you could make a pig quilt for a family member in memory of your MIL.

what is the pattern of your avatar quilt? it is so pretty and I love the colors

If you would like to make a Diamond Log Cabin Star quilt, I will gladly donate a pattern to the cause.

Wow, that should get peoples attention. Those are gorgeous!

I bought this pattern from you last fall, haven't made it yet but love it. if you could possibly post a pic of the one you made in pink again I would really appreciate it.

Thank you. Here's a picture that hasn't been posted before.

oh WOW!!! YUP THAT'S THE WOW IM LOOKING FOR.....

I would love to try this pattern... Thank you soo much..

I never thought about 'pigs' quilt that way.. I could maybe put a pig label to incorporate the pig and I could make the Diamond log cabin in her favorite colors.. Blue & yellow.. Definitely something to think about..

I'm sending the pattern (as soon as I get your address). Please feel free to pm or email me if you have any questions. I hope the quilt makes a hit and raises lots of money for the QRU.

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH.. !!!! I rec'd the pattern and Im soo excited to start it.. But i have to admit its abit intimidating..I just may have to ask questions as I go along..


Thank you so much for the pattern.... This definitly is WOW!!
