I am so happy to have made this quilt for my sister Aly's friend Anne who has end stage cancer :(
There is not much that can be done for her except to administer chemo every 3 weeks to give her a bit more time with her family.
Anne is 41.
Anne has 3 children.
Her oldest is 18 and her baby is 11.
This quilt is for Anne to take with her to chemo and to cuddle up with on the sofa after.
The following are the "post wash" pictures.
The raw edge applique looks so cool :)
The quilt is heading off to Anne's Thursday afternoon with all of the love and comfort I can squeeze into it.
What a lovely quilt and loving gift.

This is so pretty and thoughtful. That minky back is sure to comfort her. It's very lovely of you to provide some love for her to know in such a thoroughly heart-breaking time.
