A lap quilt would be great to sit under or lye under while having chemo. Any of the fast and done patterns are quick as you quilt as you go.

I think a fleece blanket would be the fastest
for you to make, they are very easy and so many
colors to pick from. Betty Lee

My mom went through treatments 5 times. She always took magazines or needle work. A nice tote bag that is bright and happy would be handy.

When my friend has a mastectomy I made her a curved pillow which was easier for her to rest against. I got the pattern off the internet but just can't remember where.

I have cancer, now in remission, and was always so cold. A flannel quilt would be great. Even now just holding the quilt brings comfort, knowing that someone cared enough to make it for me makes my spirits soar when I think about it. How very kind you are!

Definitely a nice warm cuddly quilt. I had a prayer quilt that I had during chemo. It was lap sized and the top was simple 4 ins quares and it was tied.

WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS GOING THROUGH CHEMO TREATMENTS I HAD EACH FAMILY MEMBER INCLUDING THE VERY SMALL MAKE HIM A 12" SQUARE BY DRAWING PAINTING WRITING A POEM OR QUILTING. THEN I QUILTED THEM TOGETHER. HE ALWAYS TOOK IT WITH HIM AND IT WAS A GREAT CONVERSATION STARTER. MADE CHEMO NOT SO BORING AND LONG....AND SOME DAYS WERE 8 HR DAYS..
I HAVE ALSO DONE A FEW THAT FRIENDS WOUILD SIGN OR WRITE A MESSAGE OF CARE AND GAVE THAT TO THOSE WHO WERE ALSO GOING THROUGH CHEMO.

IT WORKED WELL AND KEPT THE PATIENTS FEELING LESS ALONE.

Not original but I agree that a quilt top with fleece backing would be ideal. God will guide you in the choice of pattern and your teacher through her journey.

Prayers for you both,

If you can afford to buy the fleece, I would use a double layer of fleece and just tie the ends. Very warm and a quick one day project. Cancer treatments make patients quite cold and the fleece is so soft and cuddly.

What a fabulous gift. Been thru breast cancer with my Mom and leukemia with my Dad. If she has the time to make it that is a great idea and so thoughtful.
