In the two weeks before my transplant, when I needed something to occupy my head, my heart and my hands... I pieced this quilt. I used primarily Japanese yarn-dyed fabric that I knew would soften and fray, and a technique similar to Boro mending.

While my daughter and I were in our surgeries, my quilter quilted it.

Indeed, washing softened and frayed it perfectly. There is comfort in this quilt.
