I love the color and layout. I am wish I could learn to strip quilt but I dont have a ruler to do that so I guess I will look at yours and be glad some little girl is getting something special like she is

Most people have insulin levels no higher than 8, maybe 13 if you're pushing it. Hers were 45. Her body thought it didn't have insulin so it kept producing it, which then in turn made her body think it was starving so would produce more glucose, which turned into fat. When she dieted, it went into starvation overdrive.
With medication, she has been able to reduce her insulin levels, though they still range around 25. |
Looks great to me the way you have it. What a wonderful thing for you to do
|
What a sweet idea.

already knowning she loves pink, you are getting in the groove. She'll love this, and the thoughtfulness behind it. bless you.:)

so this is going to be a quick quilt. i started with 1 yard of flannel (#7).."funny Babies" by Amy Bradley then pulled the other fabrics to match...i think they match. i wasn't happy with the fabrics as they set..so i cut 1.5" white..to seperate some of the colors,make them pop. there is polka dots,purple stripe,small flowers w/purple,pink,blue Your colors are great and know she will love the quilt... the widest strip is cut 4" the smallest 1.5" should i make the wider ones narrower? any suggestions? |
I love how it turned out! She will love it...and I hope something can be done about the bullying...I told my niece this story, and she just said she still remembers how she felt...and how much better it was after the "talk" from the principal...she is 29 now, so that just goes to show that it does stay with a person...Pat yourself on the back for a great looking quilt!!

How lovely of you to reach out to this young lady. I had the same problem, and I never really got over it. I didn't feel I had very much support. (And those parents ought to be in school every day in the principal's face because this is a serious issue.)
