Fairfax QU made and donated more than 327 quilts from July 2018  through June 2019 and 177 quilts from July 2019 through June 2020.

FAIRFAX QU CHALLENGES

Our thrice-yearly challenges address things quilters are interested in, i.e. stash-busting, new techniques and color/design, in no particular order.  We hope to give people a little bump to try something new.
