Slab Quilts

The Elmira Needle Sister's Guild accepted the challenge to make Slab Quilts for Ronald McDonald House as part of the Canadian Quilter's 150th anniversary project. Each member was requested to make one block for a group quilt using a piece or several pieces of Canadian Flag fabric. These quilts or pieced tops will be displayed at the St. Jacobs Mennonite Church during the festival.
