Quilt that paid our Guilds rent for a year....
 
1 Attachment(s)
Our guild has an agreement with their landlords to make a them a king sized quilt each year for rent payment. This is the one that our 'Bee' made when it was our turn (on a strictly volunteer basis). There really isn't any yellow in it...it's a pale green. Thought you might enjoy seeing it. Thanks for looking.

Wonderful quilt, and an awesome agreement with your landlords! I don't know who is getting the better deal.

That is a gorgeous quilt and a bargain for both!

Pam S 07-11-2018 06:16 AM

That is beautiful!

Judith1005 07-11-2018 06:16 AM

Oh my, it's beautiful. What a wonderful way to share your talent and be rewarded for it as well. Sounds like a great trade off.

​Gorgeous!

Spectacularly beautiful!

Wow! Wonderful!! Really a treasure! Landlord is getting a great deal!

This quilt just glows! I am thinking your landlord is getting the better end of the deal-LOL :-)

I second ruthrings - this quilt takes my breath away! Love love love it, the colors just sing.

Mariposa 07-11-2018 07:21 AM

Beautiful quilt!! Neat arrangement with the landlords. :)

Beautiful quilt! I love the barter system & think more people should take advantage of it. My DD is a massage therapist & Chiropractor & does a lot of bartering in her practice. She even has an eye doctor who is a client & has bartered with him....free massages for free eye exams. :) The landlords should be very happy the quilt that your Bee made for them this year.

PamelaOry 07-11-2018 07:51 AM

Wow! That is an amazing quilt!

Laura in Montreal 07-11-2018 07:56 AM

This is both beautiful and smart! Brilliant idea and a win for everyone.

sue.ross.8782 07-11-2018 07:56 AM

It really isn't a unique pattern...it's just a stack 'n whack set together with a courthouse step block

LindaMRB 07-11-2018 11:08 AM

Pretty and and a lot of work involved.
What do they do with the quilts?
How many have you guys made?

feline fanatic 07-11-2018 11:25 AM

Very pretty quilt. Looks inspired by Jenny Beyer's Moonglow quilt, only instead of Mariner's Compass blocks you put in S&W blocks. Love the bright green.

Red Stilettos, This is very similar to Moonglow.

That is exactly the inspiration for the quilt! I loved the Moonglow....

Landlords have a large charity (not sure about rules naming names????) and the quilt is part of their fund-raising...so the quilts are raffled off each year.....I'm not sure how much they make on them...we aren't privy to that info...so far the guild members have made seven quilts, with one in the planning stages now....

jlt37869 07-11-2018 12:04 PM

Very nice!

QuiltnNan 07-11-2018 12:27 PM

too many words of praise and admiration swimming in my head to get them all down in one little post.

Jingle 07-11-2018 04:18 PM

I was just thinking that this would be a wonderful way to bless the library where my guild meets for meetings and a monthly work day. They could then auction the item and use the funds for what ever project they had on their to-do list. Great idea and a most stunning quilt.

Wow...that should be worth quite a bit of rent!

Ukinusa 07-12-2018 03:45 AM

What a great idea, beautiful quilt.
