One of my neighbors had chemo therapy last fall. I decided to make him a quilt before he started his treatments. One of his hobbies is gardening, so I thought he wouldn't mind some subtle flowers on his quilt. I used a botannical layer cake from Craftsy and a very simple design so I could finish it quickly. Each block only has one seam. It doesn't get much simpler than that.
I quilted it with a large stipple on the Bernina Q24 because my baby belly was pretty big by then. It was all I could do.
It has a blue minky on the back.
Oreo (a year old in this picture) was very curious about what I was doing.
I bound the quilt in a solid teal.
He loved the quilt and said it had his favorite color (not that I remember what it is now).
Sometimes super simple is just what the doctor ordered.

I love the big stipple. When I try to stipple in a different size, I always tend to go back to the size I'm used to using. So very hard to change that muscle memory!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful color combination! Perfect for a gardener!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet gift for someone going through something so difficult. I hope he is doing well!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors and fabrics! So sweet of you to give him a quilt while he is going through this challenge. That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou wrapped your neighbor in a beautiful quilty hug, I am sure he was thrilled with it. Beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right on that super simple mantra! I've been trying to do more of that. This is a beautiful quilt, and I hope it brought him extra healing with the super-powers that a quilt (and its maker) has within it/her!
ReplyDeleteSuch a thoughtful gift for your neighbor, Jasmine.
