GQG Quilt Challenge

The Gallatin Quilt Guild is offering a fun challenge to celebrate our country’s 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. This challenge, Equality and Liberty for All – 250 Years, is for members to share their story, their hopes, and dreams for the future of our country by creating a quilt or some other form of fiber art around the Equality and Liberty for All - 250 Years theme. The journey toward this historic milestone is an opportunity to pause and reflect on our nation’s past, honor the contributions of all Americans, and look ahead toward the future we want to create for the next generation and beyond. The highest priority is to have fun and create something original you will treasure!
