Make A Quilt - Save Our Landfills & Environment
Textile waste is a threat to our planet and contributes to water and air pollution and resource depletion. Reducing fabric waste at the source is essential for a sustainable future. Using our fabric scraps shows that quilters care for the environment and with actions can make a difference. Have your challenge quilt reflect the beauty of our environment with a message of love and care. Let’s show respect and reverence to our clean air, water, and land as portrayed in your Challenge quilt!
