pauline's diamond cover up

I made a lot of small quilts in the 80's as baby gifts for my friends.

This is a small quilt that I made for my mother, Pauline.  The colours were chosen to go with her living room furniture, I thought she could use it as a sofa throw in the house I grew up in.

My parents moved a couple of years later to a condominium and my mother's rhumatoid arthritis began acting up.  She used this quilt every day and night of her final years as a cover up in her wheel chair and also her bed.  I am so glad that I made it.  It was a gift of love and touch.  She took it with her to the hospital on her several visits, and when nurses complimented her, she said that they should google my name.
