Why we are making a quilt.
The Missouri Bicentennial Quilt, which ACM will be hosting in November 2021, includes a block from each county in the state. (tentatively 11-6-2021 through 11-20-2021)
We have decided to put together an ‘Andrew County Quilt’ to highlight our county’s history/culture to display during the Bicentennial Quilt exhibition.
