One of my co-workers has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I used the siggy block (like our exchange blocks) and had staff sign them. I put together a lap size quilt for her to take to her chemo sessions.

Total time on this project: Thursday & Friday for signatures at school. Saturday & Sunday (with time off during a 3 hour power outage) for making the top. Quilted and binding on Monday. Presented to Deb on Tuesday. 5 days total.

She happens to love the color purple-the ribbon color for pancreatic cancer-and she loves her quilt. She also collects bears-so I added a few. The rest of the fabrics are all out of my stash.

Very pretty quilt. Good use of stash.

The quilt is beautiful and it was very thoughtful of you to do this. Love your use of color and various block designs. It all blends beautifully. I hope she does well; that's a nasty cancer. Glad to hear that she loved the quilt. :)

Lovely quilt.

You did a wonderful & thoughtful job!!
I'm sure she'll treasure it!!

What a thoughtful & caring friend you are! That's a fabulous quilt! I wish your friend luck with her chemo & a speedy recovery!

Thank you everyone! Glad you like the quilt. It just sort of evolved without a pattern. Something quick and bright.
Being without power made me miss my treadle machine. DH is using it under the TV.

A lovely quilt and for a girl!

Nice work!

She will cherish it :lol: Great Job :thumbup:

What a thoughtful thing for you to do

That is very pretty. Great job.

Nice job. It'll be cherished, for sure. :thumbup:

How nice of you--now she can be wrapped in love. Beautiful quilt. I like how you created it all and it came together.

I will mailing this quilt out today to my SIL's mother. She has ovarian cancer which was caught earlier. She is in her 2 round of chemo for the cancer spread to another area. Even though the doctor thought he got it all it is hard to tell. No one knows about the quilt so it will be a surprise. It should arrive in time for her birthday as well. My daughter helped pick the colors out. Teal is the color for ovarian cancer and the backing was designed for this cancer so a donation from the sell goes toward research. Because of the design I've named the quilt "Stained Glass" for it reminds me of church windows.

What a wonderful, beautiful gift. I love how you arranged it and the signature idea is just so thoughtful. I hope she loved it.

Purplesharon, yours is stunning, also. I've seen that backing in one of our LQS's and thought it was so pretty. Wonderful gift.

GREAT JOB!

love it

Wow!!!! That is a Beautiful and thuogtful gift.

Purplesharon-
