The quilters start working on their individual square pieces over the summer, which means some of the squares have traveled across the country. This year’s they have incorporated photos on fabric into the quilt. If you look closely in the windows of the trolley, you will see the faces of most of the women who worked on the quilt this year.

In 2003, Green Real Estate became the quilt sponsor and pays for all fabric, supplies and any expenses of displaying the quilt prior to the Tour of Homes so that all proceeds of the drawing could go directly to the Community Center. Each year, the quilt raffle and sales of note cards and posters featuring the quilt raises approximately $4,500.
