The pink block is the "heart" of the quilt. I used this same idea in the other Scrap Basket quilt I made for my Uncle Tommy, Kitchen Sink, seen here.
The sashing forms leaves, and kind of a friendship star where the leaves meet. I like that a lot.
A narrow border of solid yellow will go on and then a border of this green calico, which once graced the walls of my girls' bedroom as fabric wallpaper applied with starch. Guess I better make sure it gets washed! The green for the leaves and the calico have been leftovers in my stash a long time. I'm happy to move them into a quilt that will be loved! See more design walls on Judy's Patchwork Times.

How sweet of you to make this for someone who's working so hard at keeping up with life. The pink block is a wonderful, special part of it. You have a generous spirit, making it for her.
Love the yellows you chose. This one is definitely on my bucket list (along with a few dozen others). So many quilts, so little time. Doggone work gets in the way.
