Group Quilt
 

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to post a picture of this quilt made by the ladies of one of my quilt groups..... normally I wouldn’t post something like this, but I am amazed by some of the members of this group. The group members have a range of abilities, yet everyone tried... but I was most humbled by our member who is almost completely blind, who used an array of magnifiers and lights, but refuses to give up the hobby she loves...... it is not perfect, but it was made with love.

Beautiful quilt! Even more beautiful with the story......

A lot of love in that quilt. It is beautiful as is every person who worked their magic on those stars. What will be the future of the quilt?

It's a beautiful and colorful quilt from everyone! Congrats to the members on a great finish!

Not perfect?!! Oh, yes it is! Beauty and love shines through it. Thanks for the story of how it was made.

It looks better than perfect! Just awesome!

Quite the heartwarming story and beautiful quilt! I think the assorted colors and stars are perfect! Thanks for sharing :)

Hi Summitbay,

Thank you for your kind words... the quilt will be raffled and the proceeds will go to St Mary's of Woolpit, Suffolk, UK. It is a church very near where our group meets and will try to make a donation to the church every year.

Wow, beautifully done

What a gorgeous collaboration!

aren't the very elderly ladies a joy?? Their knowldge and love of quilting are what kept it alive during the years before we started to make it popular again. Our thanks and honor to them. I thought the quilt was amazing!! So many different patterns

Beautiful, love the colors

Group quilts are the best!! The story makes it even better. This is one reason that swaps are so wonderful. One of my old Usenet groups did a swap like that. It was the greatest quilt ever. I still have that quilt and cherish it dearly.

What an awesome, beautiful quilt. Thanks for the story and please thank the ladies in your group for this wonder quilt. Wonderful stars. Hope it brings in a lot of money. BrendaK

Caroline, there's a lot of love and heart in this quilt. It is a beauty.:cool:

Oh i love seeing quilts of all kinds, by all ages, etc. Doesn't matter to me. Lovely quilt!!

It's beautiful! Who says that it has to be perfect to show love! I know it will be treasured by the lucky person who gives the winning bid! Thanks for letting us see it.

What a fantastic & beautiful quilt. It must have been a real joy to work with all the ladies who participated in this group project. I love the black background! Any other color would not have brought out the gorgeous colors of each star block. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Beautiful quilt, great colors, perfect with the black.

I love star quilts anyway, but this one is a real show-stopper! Thanks for sharing!

Perfect isn't always perfect!!! This quilt is stunning & a tribute to all who worked on it. How isn't important- enjoyment is!!! Kudos to all
