Quilting to Provide Comfort

I have a friend whose ten year old daughter is battling cancer right now.  I have been trying to determine what I could do to bring some comfort to them. Suddenly, it struck me that making a quilt for her daughter would be perfect. So today, I'm off to the quilt shop to find the perfect fabric for a 'comfort quilt.' I know her favorite colors and interests, so I will include them in the quilt, which will make it uniquely hers. I hope it will bring some measure of comfort to this brave girl.  Childhood should not include such traumas as cancer.  She should be running and playing with her friends, instead of spending so much time in the hospital.  I pray for her recovery.  This quilt will truly be a 'labor of love' and I can't wait to get started on it.
