Come to to admire the artistry at the Montgomery Quilt Walk 2026!
The theme for this year's event is "Group Quilts" and we are looking for all types of quilts - modern and traditional, applique and pieced - to show off the versatile skill set of our local craftsmen and women.
Group quilts have a rich history in America. The Oklahoma Historical Society notes that group quilts are historically rooted in American quilting bees. They are collaborative textiles created by multiple people to foster community, share news, and produce functional art. Emerging strongly in the 19th century, these projects (including signature and friendship quilts) often commemorated weddings, moves, or wartime support. They served as vital social outlets, fundraising tools, and expressions of collective identity. Today, group quilts have expanded to include opportunities for individual members to stretch their skill sets and use unfamiliar groupings of color in order to create an addition to the project that suits the aesthetic of the whole.
Not interested in working with a group? We celebrate all styles of quilting and the enduring legacy of this beautiful art form and encourage entries of all types of quilts!
