Angel quilt

My good friend recently lost her daughter and I wanted to do something for their family.  I had been thinking of this design for some time...

There are five children in the family.  The blue and green represent their two boys, the cream row represents their daughter that passed away and the pink and purple rows are for their other two girls.  The yellow binding represents the mom and dad and their strength in binding their family together.   The quilting in the middle section is the cathedral window pattern and the border has angels all around.

A big thanks to all my friends that helped with fabric and putting the top together!
