Peggy, last week’s winner of the Miniature Quilts contest, sent me some close-up photos of her fabulous 1/4″ hexagon quilt.

Also, yesterday’s guest blogger, Elisa Wilson, has graciously donated a free pattern and template to one lucky winner. Read her guest blog post and leave a comment on that post (not here) to be entered in that contest.

Peggy who won last week’s Miniatures quilt contest, sent me these more detailed photos of her mini quilt to share. You can click on each photo to view a larger version.

The title of Peggy’s quilt is Let Freedom Ring!. It finishes at 7.875″ x 7.125″. Here’s the story she submitted:

About 2 wks before 9-11 I took a mini class with Carol Henry. I made 5 tiny grandmother’s flower garden blocks of various colors. 3 of them were red, white and blue. Over 2 yrs later I was inspired to finish the quilt as my dedication to 9-11. Hexagons are 1/4″ wide & fussy cut. Total time 300+ hr.

To see the scale, Peggy included a quarter and a dime in the photos.

I can safely say I will never have the patience to accomplish such a quilt. Thanks Peggy for sharing these detailed photos.

Congratulations to Peggy Mead for winning last week’s Miniatures quilt contest. Peggy’s Let Freedom Ring! quilt is made with 1/4″ hexagons. I can’t even imagine how difficult this quilt was to make. Thanks to everyone that entered and took the time to vote. Friday was the highest traffic day ever on the Quilting Gallery site!

This week’s contest is Watercolour Quilts and is sponsored by Patchwork Gracie Quilting Fabric & Services (a new sponsor here!). They’ve donated a $50 gift certificate for the winner to use as they wish in their online shop.
