Cancer Quilt~

I've seen all of these great, beautiful, intricate, fundraising charity quilts. All of them are so beautiful! But Most Are Pink.......

There are hundreds of types of cancers and hundreds of ways in which they affect our bodies. Today,
I'm celebrating the Hope for All Cancer Patients, A Cure for Cancer and Joy In Recovery!

Here is a quilt I'm sewing up to donate as an auction item. I've had a recent request for an item to donate for a patient with brain cancer. With short notice, I've browsed through my treasured quilts to come up with one.


In the meanwhile, I wanted to choose a quick go to pattern to work on to have on hand. I had no specific idea but I wanted Color! Lots of Color!





I am enjoying the applique stitching, it is one of my favorite sewing activities! More to come!

Give me some ideas of how you would set the strips!

Have a Blessed Day!

    I hadn't really thought about it, but thanks to you, I have! Great idea to make cancer quilts that aren't pink, for other cancer patients. Thanks for linking up!

    Can you arrange the ribbons to form a ribbon in the layout? It would be very modern and that description might make no sense at all. Thank you for your kindness and generosity to those in need.

    I love how you seem to have fussy cut the center of those flowers. That is a sweet quilt design. No doubt that quilt will do great at auction.

      I think this past week has helped me clear my inner clutter by releasing something. What a better way to do so than by "giving"~

    Your quilt to be raffled is very pretty. I'm sure it will bring in a nice donation.

    I love your ribbon quilt and that it represents different kinds of cancer.

    Thanks for linking to Sew Some Love! Your quilt is beautiful! I think it's funny you enjoy applique stitching, because I absolutely hate it!
