I had this pattern in my stash and then I had valentine charm packs waiting to be transformed. My sewing girlfriend picked her own fabrics and we made this quilt into a monthly project, emailing pictures along the way. As I was putting the rows together I spent the day thinking of my high school girlfriend and found out the next morning that her mother passed away suddenly the day before. I knew I had to quilt this and give it to her as soon as possible so she could wrap her self up in her mother’s love and memories.
