For the Love of Cambridge Community Quilt
What do you love about Cambridge? Share your thoughts through your own creative expression that will become part of a larger community quilt! The blocks for this quilt have a unique twist – an image on top and then a flap that will lift up to reveal your own personal message.
So if you live in Cambridge, work in Cambridge, or have visited Cambridge and love this City you are invited to pick up a free quilt block and create away!
Once the blocks are submitted they will be assembled in different configurations and displayed in many different places throughout Cambridge.
So on the block front get creative! Stitch, applique, collage, embroider, draw, paint, or embellish the square with an image of what you love about Cambridge. Use whatever material or technique you would like. You could reproduce a Cambridge landmark, place or an event, Cambridge people you know, natural features, landmarks, buildings, history – the possibilities are endless. Any style or artistic approach is welcome. Then on the hidden part of the quilt block use any technique you wish to place a written message of love for this great city!
Where to Pick Up Quilt Blocks

DROP OFF of Quilt Blocks
Completed blocks can be dropped off at the Cambridge Centre for the Arts anytime between now and September 28th.
Preferably the sooner the better so that we can start to assemble the blocks and display throughout the City. Who knows where they will appear, what shape they will make, how large these ever changing quilts will be!
