On July 7th, 2010 a member of our quilting family peacefully passed from this world into the next. She left behind a loving husband, Arron, and a wonderful son, 6 year old Adrian.

I am asking for people to participate in making a quilt honoring her memory. This will be for Arron and Adrian to share and enjoy. A huge hug from one group of Cathy's friends. If I get enough blocks to make 2 quilts I will. One for Arron and one for Adrian.

If you would like to participate here is the information you will need:

Theme: She's One in a Million (Star)
Size: 8.5" blocks
Color: background needs to be blue or white/off white
tone-on-tone is also fine.
Style: The square needs to have a star on it. I don't care what
kind or style of star. I don't even care how many stars
you use as long as there is at least 1.

Due date: All blocks should be mailed on or before February 1st. I will get the top made by the end of February.

I'll do the binding and then send it off to Arron.

Remember, the squares are only 8.5" with blue or white background. Be sure to mail them by February 1st.

Send me a pm if you need my address for mailing the blocks.

Nothing breaks my heart more than when a young mother passes and leaves a small child. I never met Adriansmom but I'd love to participate. I'll send that pm.

It is sad anytime that someone loses a loved one. The kindness & sweetness of this quilt will warm the hearts of Cathy's husband & son for many years. I would love to participate. I got some blue fabrics in a PIF package I received this week. I would love for it to be used in this quilt. Sending you a PM.

This is a wonderful, thoughtful gift for Cathy's family. You might also consider asking everyone to sign the block they send.
