A comforting gift

My husband's best friend David is going through chemotherapy so I made him this quilt back in June.


Here's a close-up of one block. David went to LSU so I used LSU and purple & gold fabrics. Also the polka dot fabric is from a line of Mardi Gras fabrics.  


The quilting was done by my quilting bee friend Barb, and she has a fleur-de-lis pattern so that was perfect since David is from and lives in New Orleans!!


Little did I know that the treatment he receives makes him very cold... So it came in very handy and David absolutely loved it!

Note to my quilting friends: this is the "Venetian Dream" pattern featured in Fons & Porter magazine (Fall 2009).
