    I love it. I thought the ribbon was fine but now that I've read MaureenNJ's comment, perhaps she has a point. At any rate, don't give those points a second thought. The quilt is made with love and that's the important thing. Best wishes to your friend.

    Beautiful quilt. I too thought the ribbon was fine but am also having second thoughts. I think I would take it off.

    The quilt is beautiful. If the comments here have made you undecided then as her husband what he thinks. He asked for the quilt.

    Thanks everyone for your compliments/comments/suggestions. I do value all of them! My friend is quite open and positive about her diagnosis! Her mother passed a few years ago from breast cancer and she is very active in the cancer relay for life and other projects to find a cure! Still undecided about ribbon. Maybe I'll Put it on the back...

    As a breast cancer survivor, I agree with Maureen NJ's comment. I would put the ribbon on the label. But I think you have done a great job!! Carpenter's Stars are not easy to make!
