I am making one like this with the same sayings for a friend of mine. Her breast cancer was in remission after oral meds, then it came back in her bones. No pinks though. Just bright colored batiks. This one is really precious!
i made this for my niece as she was going through chemo for breast/bone cancer. she loved it and when i found out she was terminal i managed to make it in 5 days to send it from arizona to nova scotia for her. she got to use it for 6 weeks before her passing. her only sister is now the proud owner of it and gives me such great joy that she can get comfort from it. the templates of phrases can be purchased at blockpartystudios.com [ATTACH=CONFIG]350187[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]350190[/ATTACH]

Thank you for this thread I have put the suggestions of size and a pocketed carry bag as a note in my iPad so I don't lose it. I also want to include the suggestions in our Quilt Guild Newsletter as we do a lot of charity quilts.

I have made a few and I make them using bright cheerful colours but one of the favourites is a Quillow backed with flannel with a handle, it makes is to more versatile and useful and easy for using and carrying. I NEVER put cancer ribbons on them, not tasteful IMO!

I have done several "chemo" quilts and don't do anything relating to their disease. Just find a pattern that I like, fab that may be good match for the person, and away I go. They quilts are always appreciated, used. Room for chemo are always so so cold and I encourage the person to please please take the quilt with them for treatment.

I have made several "Comfort Quilts". 2 of which were pinks, but no pink ribbons.
However, for something like a Relay for life quilt I have used ribbons.

The ribbons do bring in donations though
