NATIONWIDE QUILT PROJECT CELEBRATES AMERICA’S 250TH BIRTHDAY
Visit Williamsburg launched The Great American Birthday Quilt Project.
It celebrates the nation’s 250th birthday in 2026.
This nationwide effort invites participants to “stitch their story” into a monumental quilt.
The quilt aims to reflect America’s past, present, and future.
People can join workshops, submit quilt squares from home, or donate materials.
The project is led by Steve Prince in partnership with Visit Williamsburg.
No sewing skills are required; both sewn and glued squares are accepted.
Submissions are open until November 30.
The completed quilt will be assembled and debut in Spring 2026.
It will be displayed at the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor Center and historic sites nationally.
