Everything has been donated: time, fabric, batting, quilting, machines, quilt rack for display, areas for display...and the offers to help keep coming in for displaying the quilt, the first showing being a tremendous success last Saturday (National Quilting Day) at Sunflower Quilts in Derby, KS.
From now until July 2007, Kyrie's Quilt will be displayed around area locations with the opportunity to purchase chances to win. Tickets are $1.00 each.
The quilt is sized to fit a twin bed and measures 84" x 75". I love how the funky greens, the cool purples and blues are put together in a sophisticated style. Reminds me of a stained glass window or an aquarium. Wouldn't this be fun in a boy's room? It's so hard to find something for boys that's creative but not babyish or boring, you know? Ooh, just thinking about a quilt makes me want to snuggle in with a good book or go on a picnic!
