    Default Infinity Quilt

    My SIL requested a special quilt. The wishes were purple, simple with no flowers and an infinity symbol somehow used. As I was leaving, she trust a pair of worn fleece pajama bottoms at me. Her dad died recently and she really misses him. Could I somehow incorporate these pajamas into the quilt? It took me a while to come up with a design. I found a tutorial on utube for the infinity part, but because of the size request, I had to make four of them and join it. I chose a batik purple and contrasting grays for the stripes. The use of the pajamas took a little longer to figure out. I decided to make machine hearts and made a row of them. It feels kind of soft with the fleece hearts. I forgot to take a picture, but I did make her matching large pillows to tie it all in. It was a big hit and she cried when she saw it.

    I think you hit the 'mark' exceeding well. I think you incorporated the requested elements beautifully. And, I am glad that it was so well received after all of your hard work.
