World's Biggest Quilt (or Hexagons Gone Wild!)

I vaguely remember someone mentioning this quilt, while it was still in
progress. It was completed in May, but this is the first time I ran
across the final info/pictures.

This one has several links (I don't know anything about this particular
website other than that it is part of the 10/2010 FabshopHop) ...

http://www.paperpieces.com/contents/en-us/d32.html

This is one of the links on that page, on which the quilt's final
dimensions, weight, etc are mentioned ...

Oh. My. And they are going to cut it up for finishing and donate the
quilts to local facilities. How wonderful!

I apologize for not recalling the details, but isn't the world's
largest quilt something to do with an AIDS awareness/remembrance?

Yes, I just image googled "aids quilt". Can't imagine anything
larger, or why anyone would want to diminish it(?)

In my weariness, I missed adding an important word in the subject line.
I'm sorry, but I'm rather tired from lack of sleep due to an illness.
I've corrected it above.

With that said, the Aids Memorial Quilt is many disconnected pieces.
That does not detract from that project in any which way, as there is no
doubt that its size is absolutely amazing. Each quilt "block" is
separate from other quilt blocks and each is 12'x 12' or 144 sq. ft. See:
http://www.aidsquilt.org/quiltfacts.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAMES_P...Memorial_Quilt

There is a North Dakota Historical quilt that covers 11,390 sq. ft.:

That quilt is not displayed and sits folded up in a trailer.

Finally, to put things into perspective, the hexagon quilt is ~2,559 sq.
ft. -- a great accomplishment.

Again, I'm sorry for any confusion that I caused.

Relax Bev - we all make mistakes, erasers on pencils, and all that.
I may have even made one once myself. 8^P
Thanks for the clarification and add'l info.
