What an incredibly touching story. It is a beautiful work of art and speaks volumes of the relationship you shared and of her special love for you. How wonderful that during her illness she gave your this most wonderful piece of herself to serve as a lifelong reminder of your very special "memory days" together.

Her cancer had mostly confined her to bed, but she worked on this over the course of a year while lying on her back. Can you imagine? . She fussed because it wasn't up to her previous standards and in fact had her husband mail it for my birthday and then had me return it so she could make some corrections. A treasure to be sure. I miss her.

I AM TRUELY SORRY FOR THE SICKNESS OF YOUR FRIEND BUT WHAT A GREAT QUILT SHE MADE FOR YOU.MY MIL HAS TERMINALLY OVARIAN CANCER SHE HAS ONLY 6 MONTHS IF OUR GOD DOES NOT DO A MIRACLE ON HER.SHE HAS STARTED ME A QUILT TOP SOME TIME AGO.I DON'T KNOW IS SHE WILL GET TO FINISH IT BUT I WILL TREASURE IT FOR THE REST OF MY TIME HERE ON EARTH JUST THE SAME. I LOVE HER VERY MUCH.WE HAVE NEVER HAD ONE SPAT IN THE 30 YEARS I HAVE BEEN HER DIL,THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME.

Your friend did a stunning job on the crazy quilt and just think she did most of it while in bed! I'm sure you cherish it and think of her often when you use it.
