World's Biggest Quilt (or Hexagons Gone Wild!)

Oh. My. And they are going to cut it up for finishing and donate the quilts to local facilities. How wonderful!

In my weariness, I missed adding an important word in the subject line. I'm sorry, but I'm rather tired from lack of sleep due to an illness. I've corrected it above.

With that said, the Aids Memorial Quilt is many disconnected pieces. That does not detract from that project in any which way, as there is no doubt that its size is absolutely amazing. Each quilt "block" is separate from other quilt blocks and each is 12'x 12' or 144 sq. ft. See:

There is a North Dakota Historical quilt that covers 11,390 sq. ft.: quilt is not displayed and sits folded up in a trailer. Finally, to put things into perspective, the hexagon quilt is ~2,559 sq. ft. -- a great accomplishment.

Again, I'm sorry for any confusion that I caused.

Relax Bev - we all make mistakes, erasers on pencils, and all that. I may have even made one once myself. 8^P Thanks for the clarification and add'l info.
