Here are 2 closeups as requested: there is a story to go with this quilt, you see last year I was diagnosed with a Brain Tumor & I had to have an operation to have it removed alot of the cuties were there for me in a very big way: you see I knew they were all praying for me & when I went in the OR the nurse said were here (I was there @ 8am) until 6 tonight sew we have lots of time! Well it was @ that very moment I was filled with PANIC & then I remebered how many cuties were praying for me & I swear to GOD a serene peace overcame me & I just knew that I would be ok! I made this quilt when I was diagnosed & knew if I could do these tiny tiny 1" blocks then I could overcome anything! I am recovering more everyday & the cute family has been my inspiration to keep going! I am & will be forever grateful to all of the cutes who have prayed for me on this journey

Incidently the tumor was as big as a golf ball & I received 47 staples on the top of my head & when I finished the top of my quilt @ 3am the day of my surgery it also has 47 rows! It was benign & for that I am also truly grateful!

shoot I for got to add the 2cd one. Can you find Elvis?There are no 2 blocks alike.Something else I would like to share:is this is also why I do the joke of the day & the question of the day It is very theraputic & helps me to re-learn how to make sentences that make sense & to type & spell & put them all together too & sew much more! The Nuerologist's have said this is great therapy!

I guess you can't enlarge this picture sew you probably can't see but the bottom right hand corner the blue block says presley, I even have a tube of mascara on this quilt!!!I can't think of anything it doesn't have except a kitchen sink LOL
Pity we can't enlarge. Great work. Keep on Sewing.
you can enlarge the first one & the full size one if you want too
too cool!

I LOVE THIS LORALYE! Can you put the other picture up individually too please?
I have continued to pray for you too Loralye and am amazed at God's infinite blessings to all who ask for His tender mercies. I love the fact that there are 47 designs - how wonderful that is how many staples you had in your head. God works miracles. Love and blessings Chris
