Default Family Reunion Hand Print Quilt

Got the ridiculous idea to make a hand print quilt for our family reunion, last Oct 2016. Everyone who came was invited to add their hand print and signature/name to a white square (backed with wax paper) 65 blocks. 68 X 96" Cotton front and back, wool batting, machine pieced, hand embroidered and hand quilted. Machine wash and dry. It came out quite bright!!!! Just finished the last bit of binding last night!!! A shot of the whole quilt, with Paul on the balcony. I couldn't wait for daylight to get a great picture but it came out pretty good with my phone.

​Great quilt! I have thought of doing this for a family prayer quilt but the ones I wanted on it have passed now.
