Historically, quilts were made of scrap materials and flour sacks saved up over a period of time and then sewn into a much needed bed cover for the cold frontier winter nights. There are still practical uses for quilts, but for the most part they have taken on a different meaning. Now we buy material and cut it into pieces to make quilts. Quilts have become a canvas or mosaic art medium, says Utah State University Extension clothing specialist Linda . Tipton. Quilting is also a part of the Utah heritage of early settlers from the eastern U.S. and for- eign countries. Part of preservation of this handicraft goes on at the Festival of the American West Quilt Contest which will feature some of the best quilts in the state taken from regional contest winners.

Over the years my love for quilting has been a means of making many wonderful friends who shared my interest. I found that when I was sad or worried it helped to bring out the bright pieces of cloth and lose myself in planning and making another pretty quilt. Now at 71 years, though my fingers are stiffer, and my eyesight not as good, I am still getting a great deal-- of pleasure out of the quilts I make for babies and my grandchildrens weddings. Tipton says it isnt too late to enter the Festival of the American West Quilt Contest. She says, though, you must enter one of the eight area contests first. Entry blanks are available at county extension offices.
