tonight's sewing ... a comfort quilt block
 

A quilter from a camp I attend was recently diagnosed with cancer, so as quilters we decided to do what we do best - make her a healing and comforting quilt. Everyone was asked to make a 12" (finished) block using a white as the background and a rainbow of brights for the colors. Here's my contribution! It will be sent off tomorrow morning. (We were asked to sign our names, but for my privacy I've inked them out in the photo). I was trying to make Carol's Star (http://quilterscache.com/C/CarolsStarBlock.html) from Quilter's Cache, but had the hardest time paper piecing the corner blocks, so ended up just using plain white in the corners. Then I decided they were too plain, so I added some triangles.

very pretty! I hope you can post a picture of the whole quilt when it is finished. My prayers to your fellow quilter.

A very pretty block, sorry to hear of your friend's illness,prayers for your friend .

What a great block! My thoughts are with your friend... how lucky she is to have pals like all of you guys! Please post when the quilt is done (if you can).

Beautiful block, and prayers for your quilter friend. Hope to see the finished quilt also.

Very nice!

A brilliant idea and will really show your friend how much you all care for her. A lovely bright block.

Great block, and a neat idea for your group to show support for your friend! I will keep her in my prayers~

What a cheerful happy feeling block. I know your friend will be delighted with the love and support each of you is doing for her. Keeping her in my prayers too.
