My first cousins quilt
 
4 Attachment(s)
My sweet first cousin who lives in Iowa just finished with 33 treatments for breast cancer. I wanted to make her a lap quilt that wasn't totally about cancer, but I did want to add some pink fabrics. I had a ton of problems making the label, something happened to the embroidery stitching, I know because I broke 10 needles just to stitch the label but I wanted to get it done so I could get the label done and attached and get the lap quilt in the mail. So please don't look to close.!! She was thrilled about getting the surprise quilt.
I loved the quilting stitches with all the hearts. Thanks for looking.

A sweet quilt for your cousin! She can snuggle underneath it, and know she is loved. :)

I like the simple pattern, the colors and the heart quilting. I am sure she will love it. That quilt pattern is on my "to do" list too :-)

I love your quilt. What is the name of the block you used? I love its simplicity. Great job.

Very sweet quilt to make for her. I am sure she will snuggle with it under the covers at night and give her great comfort.

I sure hope you didn't throw your timing out, breaking 10 needles.

Your quilt is beautiful.

It is named Buttercream Twist. Free pattern here:

I did not make mine square I made it with 5 across instead of 6 like the pattern calls for, I used the left over fabric strip sets in the binding.
