Deb - Thank you so much for sharing about the passage quilt. My 96 year old mother is dying of cancer, and I hadn't even thought about when they remove her body!! I've got to make a quilt! How big do you make them?? Thanks again for sharing -- this will make a big difference to my family, and to all her friends at the senior apts. where she lives!!

I made a quilt for friend that had cancer. He just passed on Sunday with his quilt in bed. I know that his family appreciated the quilt as it was a symbol that someone cares.

It is a beautiful thing that you are doing, providing comfort in a difficult time.

Yes, it is a lovely quilt. I understand your friend's feelings about the pink ribbon. It 's a nice sentiment until it's yours. I made a lap quilt for my sister to bring to her chemo sessions. It was a blue and pink (she loved pink) D9P. She didn't get to use it for very long (less than 2 months). That bright quilt will make your quilting friend's day. She is in my prayers.
