I only knew Joan through Boom 20; she will be missed and dearly remembered.
Jaba, all your blocks are wonderful and you're a speed-demon too LOL! I especially like mine. It's exactly the look I wanted. Thank you!

The blocks are just amazing, ladies! Wonderful eye candy for today.
My gut feeling about giving Joan's family a quilt is this: Joan said more than once that she had So. Many. Quilts. She was running out of room to store them. That being the case, I'm sure her family had all they wanted of quilts that Joan made herself. I agree they should be asked, but think they will probably tell us to donate a quilt.
I've been going through old posts and old Booms, looking at the many beautiful blocks Joan made for us all. Reading her posts, she sounds full of life and plans to be with us forever. How quickly things can change! Hug your loved ones all you can!

Love the block, perfect in my quilt, thank you and glad you like the one I made for you Karen.
My heart feels very heavy today with the loss of Joan. Had a hard time sewing and yet it felt appropriate. We all lost a wonderful lady today with this news! I would be happy to make a quilt for her husband or kids but I don't know him well enough to inquire if this would be appreciated. Joan and I chatted a bunch but it was usually about quilting and such. Janice, do you have an opinion on this? as far as I know her daughter does not quilt but I may be wrong.
My final block posts ladies, they are done. Hope they will work for you.
