Batik tidings

I have a friend who is having some serious health issues. Naturally I want to help, but being several hours away, it makes it difficult. But I can make her a quilt…

I bought this Jelly Roll ages ago with her in mind. I can’t say why, but when I think of her, these are the colours that come to mind.

I wanted something that will come together fairly quick, so I’m working on a version of the Star Patch Quilt.

I got about half the four patches made last Sunday before I had to stop for the day.

The other strips are all paired and sewn together, so it’s just a matter of cutting them up and sewing them back together again.

Then we get to turn a bunch of them into stars – Burton is very excited about that bit!

    What a beautiful combination of colors! As you said, The Mister really is getting a lot of use out of that quilt I made him. He’s always cold for some reason. Your friend will really appreciate the one you make her. It’s like being wrapped in a hug.

  3. Those are such beautiful colors, especially put together like that. I know your friend will feel all of the love you’re putting into the quilt for her. I will pray for her recovery from her health problems. I don’t know what you would do without sweet Burtons help.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy
