Friendship square for a friend

"Chocolate and quilting HEAL!"  6" X 6"

Our quilt guild sends heart blocks to members who are ill or going through a tough time.
Right now one of our bee members is going through an illness so we are making her 6 inch friendship quilts instead of the usual blocks. This way she can flip through them like cards.

these are the main fabrics I used, plus a yellow and red for binding, a black to make the chocolate box, and some white to fill in the back. All that in a teensy little 6 inch quilt!
But it needed it. You know?  The flowers are good for a sick person, and well, chocolates are always called for, and the little quilting lady is my friend down to a T

The back with signature

So, for the back I pieced her onto the word fabric, just to remind her of priorities.
I machine appliqued the chocolates to the black with a buttonhole stitch, the black to the flowers with a zigzag stitch, did a long stitch with thick thread by hand as my friend loves hand embroidery. All before sandwiching the layers with peltex for stability. Machine quilted with cotton thread and free motion... really free motion... flips and swirls. 

the binding is fused on after cutting the edge with pinking shears, then topstitching two lines of straightstitch for fun.
The way I see it, no quilt is too small to ignore the details, know what I mean? Now wouldn't this cheer you up?
