It will be displayed at the Gatton Quilt Show from May 11-16, 2010.
One section in progress
Gail's going for the Guinness Book of World's Records.
Now some will say that the AIDS quilt is the world's biggest quilt--- do remember this is the World's Largest Hexagon Quilt.
AIDS Quilt in Washington in 1987
And also remember that the AIDS quilt is not a stitched-together, single quilted quilt. It is the World's Largest Public Art Project. If all the sections were laid end to end today it would cover six blocks.
I haven't commented lately, but I'm enjoying your posts immensely. Thanks for sharing all your research!
ReplyDeleteThe hexagon quilt is fun. More hexagons than I ever want to sew. The AIDS quilt is such an outpouring of love to those who first got AIDS and there was little to do but watch them die.
ReplyDeleteI am glad there are treatments that help people HIV live longer lives, before developing AIDS.
Thought you might like to see the update and information on the launch of the finished quilt. Here’s the link:
