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:

Such an amazing and beautiful showing of craftsmanship.

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!
