One hundred years ago World War 1 began. One of the many ways it is being commemorated is a beautiful quilt created by South West Quilters. On January 30th it was presented to the Royal British Legion at Westpoint, Exeter, where the quilters have had a stand.
The quilt will be part of an exhibition ‘We Will Remember’, touring Devon this year. Every Stitch a Memory is what the quilt has been named and it will be raffled to raise money for the British Legion. Should you be lucky enough to see the quilt this year, please buy a raffle ticket, the British Legion do wonderful work.
My first photo shows a section, 
it was made in sections by 50 different quilters. The second, I’m showing so that you can see the whole of it – as high as I am tall, but I couldn’t avoid the glare from a spotlight especially with my phone camera. 
So this beautiful object will still be around to mark the 200th anniversary of the war to end all wars.
With thanks to the very skillful ladies of the South West Quilters group.

So beautiful and so many hours of work…it would be wonderful to own 🙂
Wow! Glad you showed the larger shot just to give us an idea. What a great project
You can see the love in the work. I’m awestruck. 😛
What a beautiful quilt! The poppies are the perfect remembrance.
Such a beautiful quilt.
wow, a labour of love, and what a beautiful result.
looks fabulous, something to last through time and remind others of that awful war, and why it should not happen again … hurray for the quilters!
Lovely story. Thanks.
Wünsche dir eine gute und schöne neue Woche liebe Grüße und Freundschaft.Gislinde
This is just amazing!!!!
A gorgeous piece Gilly. Love the detail and that no two set of poppies are alike!
Remarkable!
wow Gilly…this really is beautiful
A shame the design is credited to someone else on Pinterest. This was designed & made solely by the members of SWQ.:)
I got it right didn’t I Maggie? How dreadful to steal the credit for this wonderful work.
I think it is a genuine mistake as this person designed the banner which is touring with the quilt but I needed to put the record straight on Pinterest so I did!
