the Saturn V Dream Quilt




Checkout the dream quilt - a huge undertaking aimed at... the moon? A Saturn V rocket overshadows Huntsville, Alabama. Like a cathedral spire it stands, inspiring the residents. It memorializes a dream thought to be impossible. Now the Saturn V rocket again will show the dreams of the world, for a better future.




An 80 thousand square foot quilt is being assembled to drape the Saturn rocket, quilts showing the dreams and hopes of children and adults around the world. Hopes are that when the piece is finished, that the quilt will travel on a global tour, along with the stories of its creators.




The website shows how to contribute a quilt for yourself, how to organize and contribute a quilt from an organization, and how to support others in their efforts. Wow! Just reading their website is like a shot of positivism. After the aids quilt, I can imagine the joy this project will create in all its participants.




What do you think? Want to give it a go?
