: "The current display includes a variety of colors, patterns and techniques, according to quilter Sue Buhler. Two of the dozen or more quilts are old; the rest are contemporary and some demonstrate techniques the quilters have learned at their monthly guild meetings.
A red, white and blue patriotic quilt is made by a new 'quilt as you go' method. There is a black and white 'stack and slash' quilt made by Betty Piester. Former guild president Janice Wood put in her signature quilt, with blocks made and signed by each of the approximately 25 members and presented to her as a gift at the end of her term. It's a new piece, but the idea goes back in time.
Also new, but of an old style is an English paper pieced floral wall quilt made by Rosalie Rose. She started hand stitching the 940 tiny hexagons on Sept. 11, 2001, and completed it about two and a half years later."
If you are in the area of the Pratt County Historical Museum you have until the end of March to catch these lovely quilts! :)
