I made this quilt to be raffled off for our local Relay 4 Life Walk September 10, 2011.  It measures 57X57".  I used a combination of applique and piecing to get the look I wanted.  Each different colored ribbon represents a different type of cancer, the other blocks and banner have quotes on them from a printed panel. I used hearts to accent each corner of the quilt and all appliques were batiks.  It was a HUGE hit at the walk!   I sold $350 in tickets on the quilt and could have sold it 3-4 times at the walk.  All proceeds went to the American Cancer Society

I am not happy with this photo and will try to load a larger better picture.  The quilt was machine quilted by Dream Quilts and has ribbon design edge to edge - not visible in this little shot,

Hope you can post a bigger photo - this is a wonderful quilt with lots of love sewn and quilted into it.  Great job!  Would love to see the quilted ribbon design.  Thanks for sharing.

Is there basic pattern? My sister passed away from breast cancer six years ago and I would love to make each of her five children one in her memory. Hugs,

Kathy I have a basic pattern for the ribbons and the hearts were from a charm pack - pre-cut and the panel was purchased.  If you want to email me I can send you my patterns and where to find things:  ladyrose47@yahoo.com.  

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.  I am a novice quilter but am totally hooked on quilting.  Anyone else familiar with that 'affliction'?  lol  I have sewn since I was 12 yrs old but just started making quilts in 2009.  Love sharing with others.
