KDquilter Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Here are some pictures of the whole cloth quilt that I finished this weekend. The first couple still have the blue markings on them and the second two are of the quilt being blocked on pink foam (that's why it look light pinks in places. It was really fund to do. Thinking of putting it in the Minnesota Quilt Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDquilter Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I named the quilt "Broken Heart". My son was born with a congenital heart defect. He is doing okay now but had to go through three heart surgeries which left him with only two chamber to his heart. That's why the heart in the center is "broken".

RitaR Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Hi KD, . I love the whole cloth.. is the background fabric pink or white?? I'll pray for your son, that his health contues well, and for you to have peace of mind while he's learning to drive. We had a deaf son we had to teach. No easy feate. He survived that, we survived that time period, and He became an excellent driver, and I became gray haired. Ritar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATST Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 So pretty and so elegant. Those show judges will appreciate it, I'm sure. I believe giving our children roots is much, much easier than Wings! Patsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
