Landmark Quilt Project
 
CQAFA membership decide to produce a large scale group quilt in 2012.  This quilt reflected Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky’s neighborhoods, hills and the river.  A Project Leader Committee determined the size and format of the final product, and the design was broken into a series of mini quilts each of which reflected a specific topic such as the Museum Center, the river bridges and the Ascent building in N. Ky. Members, working both independently and in small groups, designed their mini quilts and constructed them using a variety of fiber art techniques. The members met twice during construction to see project progress and discuss connections between the parts.  Because the final assemblage was an unusual shape, a very large solid black “quilt” was made as the background. The landmark quilts were attached with velcro to the black quilt, and the final (very heavy) assemblage was was hung with a custom hanging rod.  The Landmark Quilts were displayed at the International Quilt Festival among other sites.
