The 40 quilt blocks received from competition winners and are now on their way to be included in the actual quilt.
Many thanks for the prompt way winners have sent in their completed blocks for the quilt. We were blown away by the quality and design of your blocks and can’t wait to see how impressive the finished quilt looks. It will represent a Moment in Time for the u3a movement, proof of our ability to Live well and actively.
The quilt will be revealed at an event in June 2022 and will be on display for a week at the Reveal location (which is being finalised). It will then move to locations in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales where we hope it will also be exhibited for a week.
Watch this space for details and how to apply to attend the big reveal.
