A quilt I finished in december for my aunt when she began her treatments for cancer. This is from Stack The Deck by Karla Alexander, and is a small quilt - which is what I wanted for her. Something she could easily maneuver; warm, but not over-sized. She's grown rather frail.

It's all flannel, with cotton batting. Wanting it to be soft and snuggly, I employed simple quilting with shiny brown thread: feather stitch in the ditch, and then a simple blanket stitch along each seam (to help reinforce them).

It is my first completed quilt since I took a hiatus in the spring of 2008. I told my aunt that she could while away the chemo hours looking for all the little oopsies. lol...

Made with love is the best quilt you can ever get

I'm sure she won't be looking for the oopsies in the quilt, instead she's going to admire it's beauty and the fact that you made it just for her! What a special niece you are. :thumbup:

Very nice and it will mean so much to her

Really nice :!:

I love it! Isn't flannel fun to work with? I like it a lot.

Beautiful quilt and I like your quilting. Your aunt will be nice and warm.

Very nice, I love the way you quilted it.

Beautiful quilt!! She will see the love in it :thumbup:

I will lift your aunt in my prayers. The quilt is beautiful and so is your quilting!! :)
