i am blue

Another finish! To be enjoyed by the recipient (I hope!) She is an amazing mother of two children with Autism.

I wanted the name of the quilt to reflect that having children with special needs can be a challenge emotionally. It can be really difficult for friends like me to provide the kind of support you need when we really don't know what to say. Because I am a quilter it seems easier to give a hug and a quilt then to find the right words.  Maybe I can work on practicing my words so they match my positive thoughts. This month is also Autism Awareness Month, and many neighbors are changing light bulbs to blue to promote appreciation and acceptance for individuals with Autism.

 

Name: i am blue

Design: Giant Starburst by Megan at Canoe Ridge Creations

Size: about 60 inches square (before washing)

Quilted by me  . . . let's call the pattern space peas ;)

 

 



I really loved working on this quilt, it was fast and fun and bright. What will I change for next time? I will add a few inch boarder of the background color so my points will stay nice and pointy after binding.

Thanks for visiting!
