Dreaming Pink

This quilt was pieced for Nikki in 2002.  She was the little sister of one of my students.  Nikki spent a lot of time ill and in and out of the hospital trying to determine what was happening to her.  I believe that she had a degenerative muscular disease. Her mom and I were talking about the hospital stays in Seattle and that Nikki missed the parent that stayed in Alaska with her siblings.  I pieced the quilt so that they could cuddle together under while in Alaska and then when she was in Seattle it would smell like home and mom or dad.
