America’s Birthday Quilt Display Project 250th Birthday July 4, 2026 Calling all quilters to be a part of this Historic Quilting Event Quilting is the quintessential American art form. With that, we invite youto make a quilt to celebrate America’s birthday in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The theme of this quilt event: E Pluribus Unum- Out of Many, One. These quilts will be hung on the outside wall of Fredericksburg Area Museum (FAM) facing Market Square for several days. It could rain so keep that in mind as you choose fabrics. If the outside walls of FAM get filled, we will then display quilts down the alley leading up to Market Square off Caroline St. and the Fredericksburg Visitor Center. How To Submit Your Quilt: Your quilt can be a design of any aspect of American history or American culture. • Quilt size is 3’x3’ only. You may enter as many quilts as you like. • Do not add batting to your quilt, if it rains, it will make quilt heavy. Long Arming may not be needed either. • 3 inch sleeve across the top is required for hanging. • Quilts will be displayed as high as 30 feet, small details might not get noticed. • Quilts will be due June 14,, 2026. • Write your name, email and phone number on paper with ink or a Sharpie. Place paper into a snack size ziplock bag and seal the bag. Sew or safety pin SEALED ziplock on the back of your quilt under the 3 inch sleeve. Remember, it could rain. That is why they are in zip lock bags. • Quilts will be dropped off or mailed before June 14, 2026 to an address to be determined. If you or your guild would like to participate, please contact: Christine Lush-Rodriguez of Artful Dimensions – 305-815-9847 or Joan Geisler -Virginia Star Quilters - quiltproject2026@gmail.com |
