Last month my sister-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer. I decided to make her a quilt to use during chemo treatments. I went through my stash and put together a top. The backing is a zebra print flannel. I didn't do heavy quilting because I wanted it to remain soft and cuddly.

Here's a close up so you can see how it's pieced. I could have done a 9-patch with two other blocks, but I wanted to keep that one fabric a single piece. There is a block to construct and it goes together very quickly. |
If you followed my Bonnie Hunter mystery, you'll remember I changed out one fabric and ended up making the quilt smaller. I came across the extra pieces and decided to put them together - somehow. The final result is pretty busy, but it's bright and cheery for a child's quilt.
Thanks for checking in.
I'm sure you sister-in-law will love the quilt. I love how you did the 9-patch. And what a great idea for the extra pieces -it will make a great childs quilt. You've been a busy lady.
