This quilt was very difficult to make. It's called Caribbean Sunset and was made for my brother-in-law Michael. He was diagnosed with liver cancer and I made this as a hug since I lived so far away. It got its name because shortly after being diagnosed, my sister and he were able to take a cruise in the Caribbean and turned out to be his last vacation.
When I mailed it to him, I enclosed a note that I was hugging him from afar but that I also wanted something for my sister that had a part of him that would comfort her when he was gone.
He died June 15, 2005. My sister now uses this quilt as a hug from him. We miss him very much and he was not part of our family nearly long enough.
