The Pink Quilt

The pink quilt was finished and mailed to my friend who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

I think it turned out so pretty.  I used Hobbs Heirloom batting and every time I finish a quilt with that batting, I love how it feels.  I use a lot of Warm & Natural too but until I’ve washed quilts with W&N, I find they’re kinda stiff but I love them once they’re washed.

For the backing, I used a very light fabric with a pink feathery drawing all over it.

  24. It’s so gorgeous! She is going to love it. You are so sweet to make her that quilt. My DH has an aunt that has brain cancer and I want to make her a quilt but DH says that she may not make it long enough for her to enjoy it. I just had back surgery so it would take me double time to make it. I’m debating on do I begin and try to get it done in time or not? They gave her 4 months.
