Each year the Quilt Show Committee members create a raffle quilt. This year, the approximately 76” X 76” quilt, was designed and sewn by Sally Leep and Cheryl Zylman. It is a medallion quilt with a center windmill surrounded by four rounds. The first round consists of stars followed by a round of half square triangles, an appliquéd round with four corners of pinwheels and a final round of flying geese. A floral border completes the quilt. The vibrant colors of the quilt reflect the colors of the Dutch Countryside in the spring. The machine quilting was done by Living Threads.
Raffle tickets are available for purchase at the Tulip Time Office, 42 West 8th Street, Holland. They will also be available during the Tulip Time Quilt Show at Midtown Center May 2-10.
