Dahlia Quilt Garden 2014 Finished Project
The Quilt Festival was named one of the top North American destinations of 2018 by the American Bus Association! This one-of-a-kind experience showcases 20 gigantic quilt patterned gardens. Each garden is stitched with thousands of blooms grown locally. They create a tapestry of color by combining 21 hand-painted quilt art murals. Most noteworthy, at each garden/mural you can get more of the story behind the creation of the pattern via the onsite storyboard.
