A healing quilt and more blocks

A woman I used to work with was recently diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma and I wanted to send her a quilt, to see her through her chemo.  I found this older quilt that has been folded up for years.  I thope she'll like it, even though it's a bit ancient!



The back was pieced from lots of scraps:


I also made a few more of those Bonnie addictive blocks.  That's not the name, of course;  that's what I call them. They take just a little time to prep but piecing them together takes maybe 5 minutes!

It's really fun to fussy cut the centers!  The flying geese fabric is from a friend's stash that she was liquidating about 6 yrs ago.  I'm happy that I can remember the source of some of my fabric, honestly!  Sometimes. ;-)


The center of this block is not pieced;  it's a Cotton and Steel fabric that I picked up in Maine last summer when I was visiting Wendy Reed.  They had it used in a border, which was very dramatic.  I've been waiting hoarding it until I decided what great use to make of it.  I only cut out a small square!


The center raccoon is a Tula Pink fabric.

Isn't this fun??

Back to California tomorrow for weekend babysitting!  YEAH!!

My mom is having a better week. She promised us no more trips to the Dollar Store (she thinks my husband's warnings are much more serious than mine!!  But oh well...whatever works!).   Thanks for your concern!
