Pennsylvania Centennial Quilt Patch
As Pennsylvania celebrates is Centennial in 2012, a Centennial quilt will be put together and auctioned at the 4-H Tailgate on September 15, 2012. The quilt squares should meet the following guidelines:
1. Quilt squares should be made of prewashed cotton fabrics only.
2. The completed square should be 10” X 10” with a 1/4” allowance for putting the squares together. The submitted block should measure 10 ½” x 10 ½ “. (This means the pre-washed square will measure 10 ½” X 10 ½”.)
3. The block may be patchwork, appliqué or a combination of both. If drawing or writing on the fabric use permanent fabric markers only. Any writing design should not go into the ¼” seam allowance.
4. The quilt squares should represent an historical or current event, program, or person of Pennsylvania 4-H. Squares may represent county programming or events/activities at the state level. They may represent the change in project areas over time or any other aspect that provides a rich story of Pennsylvania’s 4-H history.
Completed quilt squares should be sent to Toni Stuetz, Penn State Extension-Chester County, 601 Westtown Road, Suite 370, West Chester, PA 19380 by March 26th.
