Split Nine-Patch Quilt

If you visit the Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, you'll notice an army of volunteers at work. They’re hard to miss in their lime green vests. Volunteers serve in many capacities throughout the hospital. They greet guests at the door and help them find their way. They train and manage therapy animals to cheer and comfort patients and their families. They man the hospital gift shops. Some even perform music for patients. These lovely ladies donate many hours every week to make the hand-stitched quilts that are given to hospital volunteers, employees, and to the L. Clark Cushing Heritage Center. Hundreds of the blocks I’ve posted here over the past five+ years went into the tops these wonderful women finished. The quilt top that just came down from my design wall is the thirteenth I’ve designed and pieced for them. In a way, I’m a hospital volunteer, too. Just without the green vest.
