Another Kind of Love

Early this week I learned of a 20 year old neighbor whose father died suddenly. The colors below are the start of a comfort quilt for her in much brighter colors that the the original design called Emerald Forest which I have in a Batiks Inspired by Bali book.

Mixing and matching got a little bit more messy:

And by the end of the day I was fitting in puzzle pieces on the design wall:


I'm calling this quilt "Doors"
in honor of the doors her father opened for her,
and the ones she'll open in the future.
