Across the Nation Strip Quilt By: KimsCraftyApple, Wisconsin, USA I participated in the Team Quiltsy Block Exchange in 2009.

Some wonderful submissions, Maureen was my favorite, but there were great choices all around.
I really liked the quilts, as well as the stories with them. I am sorry I wasn’t able to locate the photo of the ‘quilt of hearts’ built quickly among a small group of online quilting friends. The word went out that one of our group was slipping away swiftly of cancer. Within a week all the rest had made and shipped their heart blocks, some with written messages of love, to me. I got the quilt together and shipped to our friend within a few days. Her sister emailed us when our friend had died and told us the quilt was with her from the moment it arrived until she passed. I still get sad when I think of her, but glad we could bring love and comfort. Online friends, from once unknown strangers, become family!
A Bouquet of Friendship is just beautiful and what a lovely name for a quilt!
Thanks for voting for my quilt! My quilt buddy came up with the name- thanks LYNN! The quilting close up is even better in person, even if I say so…
