Contribute to a Community Quilt Project

A quilt is a covering, it makes one feel at home, safe. Our charge for most of the year has been to stay safe as individuals and stay home for the strength and health of the community at large. Montpelier Alive is launching a new public art project, the "Tumbling Blocks" quilt, to stitch together our community.  

Individual designs created by the community at home will be glued onto panels to come together as a community quilt.

The “quilt” will be installed on the large panel walls at the Transit Center in Montpelier, VT for all to see. We will unveil the quilt in March 2021 to mark one year of the COVID-19 pandemic impacting our community. 

We will wrap a blanket around the community. We want YOU to be part of this project! How can you be involved? Download our quilt template, unleash your artistic passions, turn in the completed template, and your art will be part of our larger piece!
