Default Sampler Quilt for a Friend

My friend recently lost a breast to breast cancer, she is doing very well but I wanted to make her a quilt to let her know I care. So, these are some blocks depicting some things she likes, she loves dragonflies. She was very pleased with it and I am looking forward to see how it looks in her home. The colors go in both her home and her cottage up north. I did tell her however that I hope she uses it and doesn't just look at it. I believe most quilts are meant to be used.

How extra special that you incorporated her love of dragonflies on front and back. The colors are soothing. I know your friend will love it and will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

You used a great selection of soft colors and balanced your blocks beautifully. LOVE the back. Just so cute she will know that she is wrapped up with love.
