    Great looking quilt that keeps her warm and cheers her up bet she's glad you had that nagging feeling she could use a quilt.

    Yeah, we're the ones who have to get undressed while the docs and hospital personnel are wearing lab coats over their clothes. May in Jersey

    What an awesome quilt. I love the blocks, what a great way to use up scraps. I'm sure your sister was very appreciative and will enjoy it away from the hospital too.

    This block is Billie Lauder's Battlefield. I saw it as a finished quilt in the yahoo stashbusters group in november. I don't have the pattern. I just used a 6 inch finished center and the strips are 1 inch finished, to make a 10 inch finished block. 10.5 inches unfinished.

    My sister is doing well. No new problems. We already knew she had a leaking valve but it is not getting any worse.

    what a lovely sis you are. And not only is it warm -- It is cheerful and bright. I'll bet the nurses love to see a happy cover on the bed too

    I hope things turn out well for her

    Very nice! I sure have a soft spot for scrappies. Glad to hear you followed your instincts, and I'm sure your sister is too.
