Flutterby Quilt

Quilting for a Cause

My coworker Mary and I work in a Radiation Oncology Center where we treat cancer patients. Mary does an art therapy session with the patients once a month. So, we came up with idea of started a quilting project with our patients. Every Thursday in the month of May we are having the patients decorate 7 inch squares of white muslin with fabric paint. I bought a jelly roll of batiks in rainbow colors and the patients pick out what strip of fabric they want their squares sashed in. At the end of the month I'm going to quilt it all together! We are going to have it hung on the wall behind the front desk in the lobby of the Radiation Therapy department.
