I made this quilt last week for my aunt. She has been going through cancer treatment and having a hard time. She also lost her husband 10 months ago. We had a big party for her at my house on Sunday and she loved it. It made her cry. I designed this to reflect her taste and color preferences, but in the end I really liked it. I quilted myself and used flannel on the back to make it soft.
