Custom pinwheel quilt to benefit Alzheimer's Assn

Six Country Meadows Retirement Community residents in York, Pa., spent six years sewing pinwheels to create a colorful 7'2" by 8'4" custom quilt. The quilt features 2,250 handmade pinwheels sewed to a cotton-rich 420 thread count fabric. As an act of purposeful service to give back to the community, the residents chose to sell this beautiful quilt to benefit the Alzheimer's Association-Central Pennsylvania Chapter.
