    This is a quilt that I made instead of a bargello, as it had to be finished quickly. The person I made it for has had a bone marrow transplant. They are from a warm island, and they are feeling the cold. I hope they like it - the family will be sewing the binding on while they sit with them.
    What do you think?

    It does remind me of the ocean, and I'm sure they will be glad to receive this from you. I love it.

    The islanders at my home would like it. It sure reminds me of the ocean. It is very calming and peaceful.
