Quilt #7 Anonymous

Quilt #7 has an interesting story. I have had a number of wonderful friends offer to make quilts.  I got a call from a dear one this morning saying her quilt was ready to go and asked about how to add it to the project. We talked  awhile and composed a letter to go along with the quilt explaining the project and about the photos from the post. She also talked to me about using minky in her quilts. She left me anxious to try making one.

A few hours later, she called back.  She felt prompted that this quilt should go to the intended recipient without being technically part of the project.  My friend really wanted to be a part of honoring Duncan. She was sure I would be disappointed. However, it is quite the opposite. So much of what I am coming to understand is the beauty of truly relying on the Spirit.  To actively use our "faith muscle" and trust the information. I love her for teaching me. I have had a similar experience. I have a list of recipients for the next few quilts. I wrote down one name and immediately understood that the timing was wrong. If we would be instruments in His hands, it makes more sense to me to try to quiet my will for His.

The other bonus is that I am one step closer to 100 and this wonderful friend has already identified another quilt for the project.
