Welcome to Quilt Town!
“The Village Square” from Irish Chain Quilts (available in May; add to wish list)
Quilt Town is the coziest city on earth, a place where all persons, places, and things are snuggled up in—you guessed it—quilts! You, me, rooftops, tree trunks, mailboxes, swimming-pool covers…
All the quilters in Quilt Town are granted special powers: perfect ¼" seams, flawless matching points, and boundless creativity. Plus a never-ending supply of calorie-free chocolate.
In Quilt Town, it’s never more than a two-block walk to the local quilt shop. Why? Because there’s a quilt shop every two blocks!
Now, in Quilt Town we all have special names. Cozy, quilty names. And if you’re reading this post—PATCHACADABRA!—you just became an honorary citizen of Quilt Town. And all honorary citizens are granted their own special, cozy quilty names. Find out your quilty name below.
Thanks for visiting Quilt Town! Stop by anytime you need a quilting fix or a quilting friend.
P.S. We originally named our quilty city "Quiltville;" our apologies to the Quiltville down the road! A few people pointed out that the name we chose for our city is already on the map. Talk about an oops. Of course we know and love Bonnie Hunter’s site; our memory simply failed us when coming up with a name for our little game.

I find it odd that you would start a project called Quiltville, when there is already a HUGE Quiltville community on the web, owned/sponsored by Bonnie Hunter.
Very confusing.
Oh dear, Jean, you’re right—our apologies to the Quiltville down the road! A few people have pointed out that the name we chose for our town is already on the map. Talk about an oops.
