Anyone who says winning isn't everthing has never beat cancer. I'm an eight year survivor. and eight years cancer free. Congratulations to you and I love your quilt. I bet your son is very proud of you.

One of the lymph nodes the cancer broke through.
This quilt is a work in progress, I still need to represent the chemotherapy, radiation therapy and bone marrow transplant.
This story has a happy ending, my son will be starting college this month.

How about appliqueing cut out embroidered butterflies on the lightest 4 blocks for the bone marrow transplant?
Some of your favorite embroidered cut out flowers for the chemotherapy? and quilt the radiation rays in lines...
