Finally, I found the picture of this quilt!!! It was on my laptop after all but I thought it was gone forever. I hope you can open this. If not I’ll have to print it out and scan it.
It is a picture of a fundraiser quilt I made in 06’ to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association. My Dad & I are in front of the quilt. He was in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s when this picture was taken. This quilt raised $1276. A disappointment, but at least it was something. There were over 4000 pieces sewn into this pineapple quilt. It was my first paper piecing project. The background color is purple, and that is the Alzheimer’s Association’s color. My original plan was for a turquoise background but my LQS didn’t have enough turquoise. Hope you like it and can open it.
