Yeah! Now I really got busy cutting and sewing. It's really amazing to watch as something you've designed builds up from one block to enough blocks for a queen-sized quilts. Of course, this process may seem fast but it took weeks as I wasn't able to work on the quilt every day. But it was a welcome relief from the sadness in my life as I watch mom get sicker and sicker. As she became more and more sick, she also lost more and more of herself, which was even sadder for me. It was as if every day she lost a little bit of who she was. Not just her memories were gone, but also her ability to speak, her ability to perform the most basic of human functions, such as feeding herself, dressing, moving, walking, even sitting after one of us lifted her off the wheelchair or bed was impossible. A week of tiny losses added up to a big loss and from Sunday to Sunday she might lose a function that we take for granted.

This is beautiful! I love the appliqué. I'm always so intimidated by appliqué.
