This is a 67 x 83 inch quilt I made for my nephew and his fiance’. They wanted their wedding colors of gray, burgundy and burnt orange. When I had the top finished just 7 weeks ago, my 25-year-old nephew was diagnosed with a fast-growing non-hodgkins lymphoma stemming from a kidney transplant 10 years ago. He underwent major surgery and is continuing chemo. Their October wedding has now been pushed to May 2020. It was difficult to work on the quilt because of such worry and sadness for him. I intend to enter it in our county fair and gift it to them in October so they can use it this winter since it has a heavy flannel on back. The 4 angels I appliqued in the corners will hopefully watch over them while they continue this cancer journey. Life sure can throw curve balls!

That quilt is fabulous!!!!!! I love everything about it.
So sorry to hear of your nephew's illness. It's bad enough when a person is older but for one so young it's just not fair. I wish him all the best.
