My AKCA Research Project Donation Quilt

[Ruth Rice]

Here's some pics of a (King size) quilt I've been working on. It will be auctioned off at the MAKC KOI America banquet on Sat. night to benefit the AKCA KHV Research Project.
I hope someone bids!

Very nice Ruth! It's a great cause and a great quilt so I'm sure MAKC will get lots of bids for it.

Ruth - that is a fantastic quilt with awesome fabric samples! What a lot of work. Did you create that design yourself? Very, very cool.

Ruth you are not only talented but also koi kitchie.

Hi Jen,
The design was inspired by a quilt made by Nicole Lembke's sister. She made one very similar except she used oriental prints - not koi fabrics. I thought it was absolutely gorgeous. Her's was also had red borders and no red inbetween the squares.

gelldu - yeah I am a little bit koi kichi - I'm always thinking koi. When I go to fabric stores or quilt shops I always have my eye out for these fabrics. Haven't found any at Walmart or Joann Fabrics - they are usually at the better fabric quilt stores.

Your quilt is spectacular, it shows the love and many hours you put into it. It will most certainly bring in a big price for the kHV project.

Thanks all
Dinh thanks for the suggestion but I usually like to donate something I have made to be auctioned off at the banquet. People are usually excited and some of my flags have brought some really good prices. Gee I hope that is the case with this quilt! I worked long and hard on this one.
