A challenge from his wife
|
thanks for posting the link. not only is his quilt awesome, but the stories of the other quilters is fascinating.
|
I have seen a similar quilt, also made by a man, also in hexes, in the Western KY Univ. museum.
|
WOW Thanks for sharing that was very interesting. I can tell you if I made that bet with my hubby you wouldn't be seeing that quilt - or any quilt.

Here is another article:

Talk about patience. At least he had a steady hand.
|
Good article. That man was really serious about the challenge.
|
Wow! That is truly amazing! It really struck me that he worked with rocks and dynamite by day and 1/4" hexies by night.
Chasing Hawk, your link filled out so much more of the story. Did you all see how diverse his interests were? |
That is a very cool story!
|
Aw geez. He probably enjoyed quilting because it took his mind off his job!
