Cathy,
Be sure and share your quilt with us on Craft Gossip’s Flickr group. http://www.flickr.com/groups/craftgossip/
If I had a teenager in my house I’d choose this one! Equally good for either sex.
I cannot get the peace quilt pattern to show. I would love to make one for my granddaughter. Any help? I do have adobe thanks
Hi Bekka,
Well, it’s not easy to find. Once you get to the page of free patterns, you have to do a search on the pattern name Give Peace a Chance. Once you click on the free download it takes you to a pdf. I’ve copied the direct link to the pdf below. Copy and paste the address in your browser and see if that gets you there.

Do send me a photo when you are finished.

Quilt inspiration is an excellent way to express peace and harmony while colors and imagination come together. The idea of developing a world peace quilt got started in Inistiage, Ireland. Starting 2013 we ask people around the world with a 66 cm – 26 inch square quilt of their country theme, name and year to participate. More details are available at http://www.voice-consensus.com and questions/ideas are welcome at [email protected]. We let this quilt grow for 13 years in Ireland and will represent it on 6.26.2026 on the World Citizen Peace Day to the United Nations symbolizing peace solidarity among people of all nations.
Hi Klaus,
Thanks for letting all of us know more about this! –Scarlett
