Some of the blocks were used to make the “donation quilt” for the following year, and the best blocks were used to make a “keeper quilt” that becomes part of the Guild’s permanent collection. In recent years, there have been variations from this, with the donation quilt created using standardized patterns or like the 2001 donation quilt, a common theme. However, the Block Contest continues as a way for guild members to pit their skills against other guild members in friendly competition, while helping the guild preserve our quilting history. If you would like to inquire about borrowing the “keeper collection” as a special exhibit, please email us.
