its a series of 1 inch quilts that are hung in a grouping to form the image of 1 large quilt without being sewn together.
at our local guild show a woman made a 6 foot inchie that was her orange tabby cat with green eyes.
each individual inchie quilt was the orange or green then she hung all of the inches onto a cream back drop cloth that formed the cream stripes in the tabby cat pattern.
when you were standing right next to the quilt you really couldn't make out the design (it just looked interesting) but when you back away a few feet the design just jump out as if the cat was going to spring into action.
it was truly spectacular sadly she would not allow anyone to take a pic.
