Cancer Quilt

Quilt by RoseMarie Herdman
From RoseMarie: I was asked last summer to make and donate a quilt to be auctioned at the Cancer Walk. The quilt I made uses the block Jacob's Ladder. Yellow represents hope at the end of the tunnel. Pink and red are for prayers and love. Purple for strength and courage during this battle. Black and white for those who struggled and, even though they were not survivors, they are winners. I machine pieced the quilt and sent it to Quilted Basket in Southington, CT to be quilted on a longarm. A deep red binding made the quilt pop. It was my first charity quilt and measures 63" x 63".
