The Quilt is finished, the results recorded and judged. The quilt is accepted as a world record and will be in the Guiness World Book of Records.
So now what happens?
Hold a chop up Party!!
Gail took great pleasure in making the first cut. She called it a Yahoo!! moment. All the hard work, planning and wonderful contributions from quilters all around the world had resulted in a world record and a very large and heavy quilt. The plan had always been to cut it up and distribute it to charities and nursing homes and that task is underway now.
The quilt has been cut into 115 smaller quilts of various sizes. A wonderful group of ladies is current adding the bindings to the quilts and a morning tea is planned to present the quilts to the various organisations.
I will post more photos as the work progresses.
Cheers
Christine
