So pretty! THanks for sharing it and your story.

That is gorgeous! You will treasure it forever! Such nice detail on such a wonderful quilt!
Your friend will always be close to you!

Lovely, inspiring and such a loving memory. Keep it close.

What a beautiful tribute to friendship. I am sorry you lost her, but she left you a most beautiful work.
Thanks for sharing this and the story.

Your friendship must have meant so much to her!

Brings tears to my heart...what a lovely gesture for a lovely friendship!

You are indeed blessed.

The fabrics are so pretty...did she use all silky fabrics or did she use cottons?

An absolutely gorgeous keepsake from an angel who would do this for you.

Treasure this forever... That's a really nice story.

Such a beautiful memory of a dear friend. No matter how she was feeling your 50th birthday was more important to her than her own discomfort. I have lost two extremely close girl friends to cancer and I know the pain that accompanies this type of loss. You were Blessed to have her in your life and you have a beautiful memorial of her love for you. I'm happy you have reached the point that you are going to display it and give her a prominent part of your life. She loved you so much and left you her gift so it would comfort you. {{{HUGS}}}

an endearing treasure;
i would find it heart wrenching to look at--
