Each year, as part of the Dallas Quilt Show, the Guild sponsors a "Block Contest." For many years, the contest results served two purposes. Some of the blocks were used to make the "donation quilt" for the following year, and the best blocks were used to make a "keeper quilt" that becomes part of the Guild's permanent collection. In recent years, there have been variations from this, with the donation quilt created using standardized patterns or like the 2001 donation quilt, a common theme. However, the Block Contest continues as a way for guild members to pit their skills against other guild members in friendly competition, while helping the guild preserve our quilting history.
Guild member Marcia Hampton serves as curator of the collection. If you would like to inquire about borrowing the "keeper collection" as a special exhibit, please email us.

Following are a sampling of other "Keeper Quilts" in our collection:
Note: For a time, this page is somewhat under construction. While the images are present, the webmaster has not yet had an opportunity to consult with the curator for quilt names and other information.
