More than 800 quilters took part in the human quilt at the 25th annual Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show.

For the 25th anniversary of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, quilt show artist Dennis McGregor had a terrific idea--why not make a "human quilt." McGregor created the design, worked out the logistics and put the people together for this monumental event. This colorful quilt is made up of large pieces of fabric held up by a large group of people and captured on camera. We go behind the scenes to see what was involved in taking this quilt from concept to a major event involving more than 800 quilters !
