My Kind of Neutrals
Another one finished!
Last spring, when my sister-in-law got married, my mom and I hit the local quilt shops and ended up at The Rabbit's Lair in Rogers, Arkansas.
After falling in love with these fabrics because they are my kind of neutrals, I knew exactly what I would do with them. I made this quilt for my friend Kim who was battling breast cancer. She needed something to show she was loved and supported (plus, this coordinated perfectly with her decor).
A year has gone by. Now she's free of breast cancer. Yea!
And is also now an avid quilter herself. She's crazy-addicted!
I feel her pain:-)
