… when you are sewing together the last of your blocks and it’s time to start sewing rows together? I do. I always do. And for some silly reason I’m surprised each and every time.
This quilt is for a special friend that has stage 4 breast cancer (prayers appreciated). She started chemotherapy this morning. Her favorite color is a bright greenish-blue. My thought was to have an explosion of blues and greens … well, it’s an EXPLOSION all right. I just don’t know if I like it yet.
I love the pattern (I’ve taught this class at one time) and I ADORE the new “Twister” tool I bought at Sister’s Fabric Shop yesterday. OMGooses! It make cutting SO easy and pain free.
I’ve made this quilt before, I think I’ve even taught a class on it. I know I gave one away at a local National Guard event.
I realize (or at least I TELL myself that I realize) that when you are making a quilt for someone that is so close to your heart and especially when you are making it for such a heart-wrenching moment in their lives, you aren’t going to be happy with what you make.
I have a thin dark pink border planned and my focus fabric will be the final wider border. I really hope this comes together …

That’s a beautiful quilt. I’m sure your friend will love it. I like the subtle change of colors is calming. Prayers going out for your friend. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Kim, I’ve missed you! How are you? Sorry I haven’t been around. I’m back. Love your quilt. ~karen
