Similar projects have already been completed in many of the other 49 We invite anyone who has such quilts, quilt tops, or quilt blocks or other related quilt materials in their possession to bring them to this Quilt Day so that we can all share in the history of these items and their makers who have left us such a rich heritage in this art form. Bring with the quilt any information about it, such as where it was made, who made it and for whom, and also the source of materials and patterns, etc. The quilts do not need to be in prime condition. Many times we have found important fabrics and quilting styles represented by worn quilts. There will be a $100.00 cash award as decided by the committee for the most historically significant quilt brought to this Quilt Day.
