• Donate fabric in bright colors: 1/4 yd. or more at The Quilt to Give Area in the Atrium at the Exhibition Hall at The Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wis.
• Donate a finished, new quilt, 24″ or larger, in any quilt pattern including panel quilts to the Quilt To Give Area at The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show. All quilts must be clean and quilted through 3 layers by hand, hand-tied, machine quilted, or by mixing two or three methods.

You’re invited to quilt along with us as we make Nancy Zieman’s Quilt To Give. We’ve written 10 easy steps, within 10 blog postings. With our step-by-step directions, you’ll be able to make a great looking quilt from your fabric stash in 10 Easy Steps.
In 2011, Nancy designed our Quilt to Give project to use your fabric stash and create an attractive bed-sized quilt, and then give it away to an individual or family in need. Making and giving a needed bed quilt is a heartfelt way of showing support and encouragement.
Bed quilts—twin, double, and queen—are ideal quilt sizes to make and donate. We’re making twin-size quilts to show our love to those we will likely never meet, yet whose images fill our minds.
Nancy Zieman’s Quilt To Give design can easily be made from a fabric stash with perhaps a few purchased fabric additions. Nancy’s quilt design is simple and attractive, and easy to make as you follow along with our 10 Easy Steps.
Ten Easy Steps
Step 1—Sort out fabrics from several stashes
Step 2—Cut column strips and center patchy strips
Step 4—Stitch the patchy center columns
Step 9—Layer and quilt your creation
