Suggestions for a cancer quilt
My daughter's BFF (who is late 30s) has been diagnosed with late stage breast cancer and is facing chemo, radiation and a double mastectomy and I wanted to make her a quilt to take to the chemo treatments. Does anyone have any suggestions on a pattern, etc. I have a nice pattern of a pink ribbon but not sure if someone going through this would like to be reminded of the disease.

The first one I made I did a garden trellis pattern (looks like intertwined circles) with alternating pink and green and used a pretty floral back ground with a pieced twisted ribbon border. And, I used a green fern print flannel for the back. She loved it, she took it to every treatment and spent many recovery days cuddled up in it. I made it almost twin sized so she would get good coverage. She said she loved the flannel on the back, as she got cold during the treatments.
I can't figure out how to load pics from my iPad, I will try and add one tomorrow. |
Since she is your daughters BFF, your daughter might be able to help the most. I'd ask her what her friend would like.

Suze9395, I like this one it represents the pink ribbon without saying it like the breast cancer pink ribbon. Good Choice.

I agree... I personally wouldn't want the pink ribbon deal on a quilt.
For sure I'd want it soft and cuddly. **Suze9395 = your quilt is beautiful! |
Thank you. I didn't want to use the actual ribbon pattern. But, at the same time, the pink ribbon is such a great symbol of strength and hope I wanted that powerful feeling to be included, tomsurround her. I feel it is important for these quilts to be beautiful and feminine. And cozy!:)
