ISU-loving, blue-ribbon-seeking quilters: Here's a contest for you

Two quilting contests at the 2007 Iowa State Fair will commemorate Iowa State University's 150th birthday.

A special quilt category has been created to honor Iowa State's sesquicentennial, and the first-prize award, fittingly, is $150.

Another contest that is open to Iowa residents and Iowa State alumni outside the state is the ISU sesquicentennial quilt block contest. Contestants in the quilt block contest will receive a packet of materials in early summer. Blocks will be used to construct the Iowa State University Sesquicentennial Quilt, which will be on display throughout the state fair and sold at a fair auction Aug. 18.

More information on the contests and how to enter is available online.

Summary

The Iowa State Fair is helping ISU celebrate its sesquicentennial with two quilting contests.
