Breast Cancer Quilt finished

These are the pink pinwheel blocks I made back in January.
This was a collaborative effort with my sister to make a
comfort quilt for my sister-inlaw who was undergoing chemo
and radiation treatments for breast cancer.

Unfortunately my sister lives in another state, so we couldn't
get together in person to make this quilt.  I sent her my
blocks and provided the white background fabric and a soft
cozy flannel (with the breast cancer awareness ribbon) for the
back.  My sister furnished the border fabric and batting, then
volunteered to sew the quilt together and delivered it to
her awesome quilter.  

Isn't the quilting lovely in this photo?  We were so pleased with

the outcome.   The quilter said, this pinwheel quilt was the 

prettiest one she had ever seen.  What a nice compliment coming 

from an amazing quilter.  

It's serendipity that we each made 17 blocks with only one repeat. 

I love the way she quilted the flowers in the borders and the 

pinwheel cornerstones.  Isn't it beautiful?

My sister-inlaw called to tell me she was so surprised to get

the quilt.  She loves it and was so thankful.  She took it to 

work to show everyone and later took it to her church to 

show her friends there.  How sweet is that?  I think she's

happy with it.  

She received good news a couple of months back.  The Dr.

said, the breast tumors were shrunk down and the cancer was

no longer active.   Although she called me today to say she is

having some pain in her knee.  She recently went in for a

full body scan and an x-ray of the knee and they are 

concerned there may be cancer in her knee.  My heart sank,

she has been through so much, but we hope for the best and

will wait for the test results in a few days.  We are keeping her

in our thoughts and prayers.  Her name is Chris if you would

keep her in your thoughts and prayers also.    

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful

Memorial day weekend!
