Eleven years ago in May I lost a grandchild to a congenitial heart defect. This year for CHD awareness week which is the 7-14th of February my daughter asked me to make a rememberence quilt that is being sent to a lady who lost her daughter a year ago to a CHD she is collecting these quilts and taking them to the local NICU. Here is a picture of the quilt. CJsmomma did a tutorial on arrowhead block this is made from that tutorial.

That is a lovely quilt and I'm so sorry about your loss. I lost a cousin at 12 of a CHD :(

Cheryl I love it!! You did a wonderful job. It will be loved by a lucky child.

I am sorry for your loss! It is hard to lose a child.

I am working with our local chapter for CHD called Tymeless Hearts. But they don't want my quilts. So I will be selling them at their carnival in June to help raise money.
My DH was born with hole in his heart but over time it closed up.

You can do that at the Alzheimers Art Quilt Initiative.

BTW - I love your quilt, and I'm not an overly "pink" person. It's beautiful and to such a worthy cause
