Quilts for Comfort


That is me, yours truly, on the left. My sister-in-law Jean Wykes is in the middle, and my husband's oldest brother Jim Wykes is on the right.


After a hard battle with lung cancer, Jim died on January 14, 2000. He cuddled a lot with this quilt.


It is an example of a 4 patch square, alternated with a plain square. This is the same method used for my sister Peg's medallion quilt. The only difference was that hers had a medallion of Drunkard's Path squares in the middle.


What is fun about Jim's quilt is the back side! I really wish I had a picture of the back side, because it is my favorite part of this quilt.
