Megan's Octopus

My online community of quilters gathered (virtually) in 2014 to make a quilt for Megan D, who was really struggling with a big loss.  We asked for 12.5" blocks in her favorite colors, purple and orange, with a gray background.  Since Megan loves octopi,  I used this bit of clip art:

        I decided to make this massive octopus embracing all the blocks. 

The resulting quilt is BIG - about 90"x100"

Once this was put together, it was sent off to a long arm quilter.  We thought it was lost for 2 years (a very long and frustrating story.)  Finally it was recovered and quilted by Janet, then bound and delivered to Megan, who loves it.

Blocks were made by: Paula, Janet, Sam, Kimberly, Adva, Linda, Melissa, Melissa, Maddie, Flaun, Jean, Megan, Kim, Trish, Alice, Chelley, Barbara, Deborah and Tama.

We are so glad this quilt is home with Megan D.

Peace
