I am ready to add yet another completed Roseville Album to our blog. Although the quilt has been finished for many months now, I am just now finding a way to photograph it. This quilt marks my journey through breast cancer surgery and recovery; its four "pink" corner blocks were my way of remembering that time in my life. Having Kim's beautiful pattern to applique has been soothing and rewarding. It is, to date, the most ambitious project I have attempted, but now it won't be the last.
Congratulations on ALL your achievements. Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful. Such gorgeous colours and a very positive way to help you deal with a difficult time in your life.

ReplyDeleteWow! It's absolutely gorgeous! Your pink corners were a lovely idea. I remember when you started, and I'm so glad to see that you finished the quilt and made it through recovery! Congratulations on both!
ReplyDeleteWow, Donna, you have a good memory! Thanks for that.
DeleteWhat a beautiful quilt. Well done on sticking with it over four challenging years. You should be very proud of this quilt - it represents a huge amount of work. I'd like to make one of Kim's patterns myself one day, but haven't decided which one yet.

ReplyDeleteI made my first quilt during chemo, but it was only about 18 x 20. It was a color wash quilt. It helped to get through the days as yours did. Great going!
ReplyDeleteQuilting is just so soothing, isn't it? It takes one's mind off troubles or anxieties. I'm glad it worked that way for you as well.

ReplyDeleteI so appreciate the supportive comments everyone has made. To those of you just starting this quilt or stuck somewhere along the way, please keep going! Kim's patterns are perfect for the "Slow Quilting" movement spearheaded by Mark Lipinski. We will all have heirlooms in the end.
