Hi! Laura's quilt was made when she was receiving treatments for hodgkins lymphoma, which is why I included the purple awareness ribbon. I brought pieces with me to sew at the hospital to pass the time. Her silhouette is in the middle and a piece of her prom gown in the corner. She loved tennis and played in school which is why I included the tennis court and racket. The SV is for her high school - Sun valley, while SHIP is for Shippensburg University. The buttons are her favorite band buttons - her music square. Thank you for your wonderful comments. She is my hero!

Schwanton: Thank you for the explanation. After I sent it I wondered if I was asking questions that were too personal or that could be sad for you. I'm glad they weren't and I love how you incorporated her life in one small wallhanging. It's absolutely wonderful.

Congratulations. The first one is beautiful. I love the color combination. Can't go wrong with black and white. The Laura quilt is such a wonderful idea.
