Biggest quilt I've ever seen

Recently I saw a 27-foot long quilt hanging at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.

Feed My Sheep was designed by artist Nancy-Lou Patterson and made by Mennonite quilters in the area.
 
It is impressive far away and even more so close up.
I fear my photos don't really do it justice.

Your photography did do this justice because you can imagine the size the colors and the stitching is fabulous for texture. I have designed a fair amount of banners for churches and this is really wonderful for so many reason, thank you for Sharing
