This is a quilt for the hospice nurse who helped care for my mother during her last year and a half. I was often at a sewing machine when she came for a visit. I chose this quilt as she identified with one fabric, saying it was similar to one she made her daughter a dress with. It's 52"x 64" and was a pattern I modified.

I totally agree, when people ask if I sell my quilts, I always say no, "I like to give them away". I usually have someone in mind as I make it as well.

Very pretty. What a nice thing for you to do. We had hospice help for my mother-in-law back in 2001, unfortunitly it was for only a weeks time, but they were so helpful.

I had to look close to see how the pinwheels fit in and now I see how easy this would be. Thanks for posting. It's another great idea.
