Barb, I love you, I love you, I absolutely love you. I have been looking for the perfect pattern to do for grandbabies twin size quilt for over two years. Her mom wants, merlot, pink and white. Color is relative, so by merlot, I mean between a fuschia and a raspberry. Yeah, non quilters think you can pull any color, and print, out of a magic hat.
I have the fabrics, but couldn't find anything that just fit. This is so gorgeous! I think hubby has a very good eye too! oh, this is it! I have books, so can probably put something together, when I get ready, lol. Btw, did I mention that i just love you? :D

Barb,
Have you shared this picture with our HD board?? They will sooooo love it! That is the most beautiful quilt, I don't care what you say, gorgeous quilt!!
It's a beautiful poem too, very fitting. I have tried to incorporate the HD logo into fabric and I just can't get it done. What a beautiful tribute.
I've often thought about making something for the clinic here...but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Girl, you inspire me!

What makes that wall hanging an HD wall hanging? Are roses associated with HD?

I am a rose that has no stem, but i am not alone
Many leaves surround and care for me, and help me through life's storms
I am a rose, and i have Huntington's Disease
And someday soon, all roses will have stems
So it's just something i made up. And the queensize quilt, that i'm struggling with now lol, is going to be a raffle quilt, and the money will go directly to the Michael Haeyden lab at ubc, he's one of the top researchers in the world working on hd :) And im going to make an annual raffle quilt.
Thank you so much everyone4 for your ideas. Funny when you have a bunch of blocks, and think they're gonna look a certain way, but then you lay them out and oh crap lol lol
I agree with everyone, i'm working on adding a burgandy border around the centre part, just like the wallhanging, that will make it pop more, and im making a few more changes too, that i will lay out and show you guys when i have them done :) :) :)
Sharon, hd is, it's huntington's disease, im in the eqarly stages, but doing real good, it's kind of like a mix between alzheimers and parkinsons :) :) :)
UBC is as lucky to have you as you are to have them.
