My other quilt projects were set aside this week when an "all call" went out from my quilting group to work on a quilt for one member's sister who is going to go through chemo starting in the next week or so. Amazing how fast a quilt can come together when lots of folks work on it.
We used a 6-1/2 inch block in earth tone batiks. Cut it in half on the diagonal and sew-in a neutral colored strip 1-1/2 by 10. After all the blocks are finished select a block size...we were able to get enough that we could trim to 6-1/2 inches...usually we only get 6 inches.

Sweet and yummy like our favorite fruits :-) And especially meaningful when made to cheer and comfort a friend. Lovely work!

Wonderful, thoughtful project. What a great quilt from a simple block. It looks like a blending of summer fruits in a wooden bowl! : )
