04-26-2014I am making one like this with the same sayings for a friend of mine. Her breast cancer was in remission after oral meds, then it came back in her bones. No pinks though. Just bright colored batiks. This one is really precious!

Thank you for this thread I have put the suggestions of size and a pocketed carry bag as a note in my iPad so I don't lose it. I also want to include the suggestions in our Quilt Guild Newsletter as we do a lot of charity quilts.

I have made a few and I make them using bright cheerful colours but one of the favourites is a Quillow backed with flannel with a handle, it makes is to more versatile and useful and easy for using and carrying. I NEVER put cancer ribbons on them, not tasteful IMO!

Flannel on the back to keep her warm, biography enough to cover her when she streches out. And all the love and prayers you can fit in it.

I have done several "chemo" quilts and don't do anything relating to their disease. Just find a pattern that I like, fab that may be good match for the person, and away I go. They quilts are always appreciated, used. Room for chemo are always so so cold and I encourage the person to please please take the quilt with them for treatment.

I have made several "Comfort Quilts". 2 of which were pinks, but no pink ribbons.
However, for something like a Relay for life quilt I have used ribbons.

The ribbons do bring in donations though
