What a great friend you are! Both are so pretty. One day I really want to make a quilt with circles.

joym 05-21-2014 06:22 AM

Lovely and thoughtful gifts. I am wondering how you did the circles......are they raw edge or machine down or hand appliquéd ? Especially Love that one

Can I be your friend???? You have made such beautiful quilts to be gifted to your pals. I pray that your friend will overcome her breast cancer and is one of the survivors!!! I'm confident that she will be with the love and support form her friends if they are all like you.

They are machine appliqued, i started with a 10 inch square, cut out a 6 inch circle from the center, applied that circle on top of another 10 inch square, and the left over hole was applied on top of another 10 inch square to appear like a circle.

I'll be your friend! Those quilts are beautiful. You are a very dear and loving friend. Please tell your friend she is not alone. I will keep her in my prayers. This wretched disease can strike any of us at any time so we must all support one another.

Beautiful...the cancer quilt is nice but the circles are outstanding!

gabeway 05-22-2014 04:20 AM

Awesome job on both!

alleyoop1 05-22-2014 04:33 AM

Your friend is very fortunate to have someone like you in her life. I made myself a recovery quilt which was on my bed while I recovered from surgery and I took to every chemo treatment. Now I use it when I am tired and need a nap. I know your friend will get a lot of comfort out of her quilt. You are a doll for making this!
P.S. My avatar is my recovery quilt.

How clever you are. I think I might even be able to accomplish that. I have always stayed away from patterns with circles but think this is one I would really enjoy doing. Thank you for including the directions. :thumbup:

BEAUTIFUL quilts!!! Love them both! Great job :D

Both are beautiful. I don't care for the breast cancer symbol. I had it also, am taking radiation treatments now and will be on anti-hormone medicine for the next 5 years.

dcquilter 05-22-2014 06:38 AM

Both are lovely. Sending good wishes to your friend.

fangman 05-22-2014 07:37 AM

They are beautiful.

Your quilts are beautiful. I am a breast cancer survivor of over thirty years. I wish your friend the best and hope she can also be a survivor. Friends and family were my greatest comfort.

matraina 05-22-2014 10:17 AM

Great job. Love them both.

MargeD 05-22-2014 11:06 AM

Both quilts are beautiful, especially the one for your friend who just found out she has breast cancer. I'm sure she will love the quilt and the thoughtfulness behind it.

Grandma Peg 05-22-2014 03:34 PM

Great quilts. Prayers for your friend.

arline423 05-22-2014 06:04 PM

Love both quilts, but the second one is ME!

Annz 05-22-2014 07:13 PM

The gift quilts are very kind and thoughtful of you. I work for 4 breast surgeons and know how much they can do now for women and men to survive breast cancer. My thoughts are with her. Your a good person.

Moonglow 05-23-2014 03:08 AM

Both quilts are beautiful. Prayers and best wishes for your friend.

roserips 05-23-2014 07:36 AM

Yesterday morning I sat with my coffee and looked at your beautiful quilts and admired them but didn't post anything I don't know why but the second quilt just speaks to my soul the colors and then the wonderful texture created in quilting she will be blessed. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing.
