Peace Quilt

I love,love, love that quilt! Thanks for posting the picture! I wish I could see the quilting up close.

The quilting is nothing to write home about. In fact, it's better seen from a distance. I just did a stitch in the ditch.

Just lovely, Joan. I'm very partial to quilts that use black to set off the other colors. If you get tired of it hanging on your wall, I've got a place on mine. ;-)

That's just gorgeous, Joan. My word you are doing some beautiful work. Those colours, with the black outlines are so vibrant. . In message , joan8904 in Bellevue Nebraska writes

Tell us about your fabrics, Joan. You've done such a marvelous job of getting such wonderful colors together - was this a medley of collections? your stash for years? have you raided every LQS and stash within 17 states? Just how in the world did you do that? Polly

I did the Peace Quilt as a block of the month from Homestead Hearth. I did use a few of my own fabrics to add the 'personal' touch.

What a beautiful quilt! I have done a search to find the pattern. Though I may not make the quilt, I would like to add blocks of cranes to a quilt that I'm making for my daughter. She will be very surprised - she is always giving me origami cranes. Thank you for sharing: ) Paulette

Just beautiful, Joan!

Great quilt! I know you labored hard over all those cranes!

Is there a pattern available for the birds?

There is a children's book called "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes." I used it when I taught 5th Grade a few years ago. We even folded paper cranes. I wasn't a quilter back then.

I'll be back teaching 5th Grade next year. Might be fun to make a much smaller wall hanging to go with that American History unit.

Thanks, Kay Ahr > is finished and hanging on the wall!

Duh!! I finally stopped gazing at the quilt and read your caption.

I've ordered it from an online shop where I used to live in Virginia. I try to support my local shops -- I used to be 'local" there!

FABULOUS! Happy Dance for you!
