That is an absolutely stunning quilt. I love the green! what a surprise in the middle of the yellow and blue. neat! I love the color choices too.
Are you a quilting team? I would love to know your story. Have you posted it on the board before? I am so sorry to hear about your friend. One of mine has been fighting cancer for 3 years now but she has the most amazing attitude. She is so cheerful and funny and lifts me up whenever I am with her. Her dr. said she would be on chemo the rest of her life. She doesn't seem to find this a bit depressing!! She's the best. God's blessings to all of you.

Helen -
Thanks for the encouraging words. My wife and I are a team; I have posted our story before, but basically she wanted to do something crafty and took a quilting class at a shop near our home. She hated cutting, so since I'm a math nerd I started doing her cutting so she could sew. She signed up for another class, so I went with her intending to cut, but she and the teacher talked me into taking the class completely.
Our friend had to be hospitalized over the weekend, but it turned out to be problems other than the cancer. The good news is that she has responded well to the treatment and the tumors have shrunk. Hopefully she'll get to go home by the end of this week. When we visited her last night she thanked us again for the quilt and told us how many people she had paraded into her bedroom to look at it. We really got a charge out of that.
I forgot to mention earlier that when we first gave it to her she said she would put it away at night when she was sleeping. We told her to sleep with the quilt, because every time she wraps up in it that's a hug from us. She told us last night that she had been collecting her hugs.
Thanks again everyone for the kind comments.
