    Wonderful quilt!!! Great job on it. A great friend of mine recently made a quilt using those printed words for another mutual friend, Sharon. Unfortunately before she could get very far on it,Sharon passed away. We finished up the quilt, several of us who quilt together each making a block. The quilt top was hung at the funeral and we had blocks to place on the back of the quilt for all to sign who wanted to. Sharon's husband greatly appreciated the love that went into that quilt.

    Sweet of you to do this for her. Question: What do the blocks say? (---Cripple Love, Erode Confidence, Kill Friendship, Invade the Soul, Erase Memories, Corrode Faith) I can't make out the first two words on those blocks. I like the fact you paired it up with "Fight back" fabric. Keep encouraging her!
