As I've said before, when things are rough for people I love, I'm sometimes feel stuck. Words don't always help. And with a busy homelife of my own, being there with a hot meal or a sweet treat isn't always possible. But you know what? I can quilt. There can be extra love sewn in.
If you're wondering about these blocks, they're Crudité blocks from the book, Quilts du Jour. Each block comes in a 8 or 16 inch version and has a number of different ways it can be put together. So many options!
I'm never 100% sure about those tigers. Are they awesome? Are they too much? In any case, my inability to cut them up led to these 16 inch blocks! ☺
It's not a huge quilt - measuring roughly 48 by 64 - but it's big enough to curl up under. And to bring some smiles to someone special who needs them.
Once I get this flimsy all quilted up, there's a giveaway coming your way, courtesy of Fabric Please! Your very own bundle of Tula Pink's Eden! I'm hoping you won't have to wait too long.
And I've got a start on the back. There's naught but scraps left after piecing this panel and setting aside some strips for binding.
I'm linking up with TGIFF @ Dizzy Quilts, as well as with Finish Up Friday @ Crazy Mom Quilts. Pop on over and see some fab Friday finishes!

P.S. Don't forget to come on back next Friday with your own finishes. I'm hosting TGIFF!
