I am absolutely blown away by some of the quilts I see designed!
It can cross the barrier from craft to art very easily!  

I like anything comfy with colors close together on the color wheel
with a touch of a bit of opposite...just be creative!
For some reason designs with violets, purples...the spectrum..with a
bit of yellow/blue perhaps?  Gold is always a nice touch.

But through all of that, anything comfy, and if it's pleasing to the
eye so much the better!

  I think it's a wonderful distraction and worthwile one!  

You know, I'd had similar thoughts lately. Rather than giving IN to
pain.....maybe something which implies that we fight it.

Pain warriors, or leave pain off entirely.  Life to the fullest, day
by day!

You're on the right track methinks, and I'd LOVE to see pics, if any -
of your creations!  I say that knowing full well that anything which
takes that long to create usually has a "home" waiting for it when
it's finished!    :)

Thanks..and may your idea catch on !

OK, these are (selfishly) to help me keep distracted and cope with
some pretty bad BT (2nd day...)

1. What kinds of quilts do CP sufferers like?  (Yeah, I design quilts
on a special software pkg. - keeps me busy and involved when I can't
do anything physical - I don't sew 'em.  I was a designer, and
designing is designing.)

2. I think we need a term for ourselves - Chronic Pain "Patients" and
"Sufferers" may be accurate, but they seem too close to "Vctim" and
IMHO we need a term of empowerment.  "Painees/Painies"? Too trite?
Yeah, one looks like "panties" and they both sound like pains in the
patoot...
