Last week I shared the feature quilt by Judy Pearce from the 2013 New Hamburg Mennonite Sale quilt auction. Today I share another quilt that captured my imagination. A group from the Hawksville Mennonite Church pieced A Walk By the River based on a design by Maxine Rosenthal.

I've designed kaleidoscope patterns like this in Photoshop and Illustrator, but I've never tried to piece a quilt like this. Just from looking at this quilt, I imagine that it would require a lot of fabric, patience, and persnickety pinning and piecing. Still, I'm intrigued.

The quilt measures 87 inches by 102 inches. I wish the New Hamburg Sale committee would publish the sale prices of each of the quilts online, because I missed what this beauty went for.
