Welcome to my stop on the Quilt Block Mania Blog Hop. Each of the designers participating in the hop are sharing a block pattern inspired by this month’s theme, which is Occupations.
I wasn’t sure which occupation I wanted to honor with this month’s theme so I struggled a bit until it came to me: nursing.

I haven’t finished the quilt yet because I was working on it when my sister got sick and later passed.
