This quilt was made within 6 hours at the Annual Pieceable Retreat
of The Quilters Of South Carolina. It had been announced that the
president's daughter was going to have brain surgery. The word went
out on Saturday afternoon at about 2:30 to bring 6" squares (the nine
patch class made nine patches) to one of the classrooms. They were also
asked to sign a label for the back of the quilt. We were limited on time.....we
needed to get it done for the general meeting that evening, and were also
limited on the size of the backing fabric(no time to piece it). People
would come in and take some squares to piece a row, bring it back lay it
on the floor (our design "wall"), and take some more, then started sewing
the rows together. One of the members stayed during dinner to quilt it
(having someone bring her a salad) and we presented President Carol with
the completed quilt at the 8:00 evening program, all quilted, bound, and
the label sewn on. We kept it a secret and needless to say she was very
surprised and her daughter is doing fine now.
