Most people have insulin levels no higher than 8, maybe 13 if you're pushing it. Hers were 45. Her body thought it didn't have insulin so it kept producing it, which then in turn made her body think it was starving so would produce more glucose, which turned into fat. When she dieted, it went into starvation overdrive.
With medication, she has been able to reduce her insulin levels, though they still range around 25.

so this is going to be a quick quilt.
i started with 1 yard of flannel (#7).."funny Babies" by Amy Bradley

then pulled the other fabrics to match...i think they match. i wasn't happy with the fabrics as they set..so i cut 1.5" white..to seperate some of the colors,make them pop.

there is polka dots,purple stripe,small flowers w/purple,pink,blue

Your colors are great and know she will love the quilt...

the widest strip is cut 4" the smallest 1.5"

should i make the wider ones narrower?
any suggestions?
