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.

Absolutely gorgeous quilt!

Beautiful!!

Stunning!

Gorgeous quilt, and what a wonderful keepsake picture of the two of you!

i'm not able to open this picture. it is not one of the file types that the board suggests for pictures.

Stunning, one amazing quilt for a good cause. My MIL continues to suffer from the disease.

Thank you for taking time to post this. It means a lot to me!!! My grandmother suffered from Alzheimer's and this year I'm taking on the 5K in her memory!!! Gonna be a GREAT race!!!

WOW! Do you mean the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk? I know how much meaning this has to you to do in her memory. I do this every year too, since 03 the year Dad was diagnosed. I joined the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk committee in 04. It was a way to take the anger and sad feelings about what Alzheimer's was doing to my sweet father and use that energy towards something postive.

EDIT: I didn't see the picture you put up for me when I first posted this - THANK YOU!!! ((((HUGS))))
