 
Here's the pictures of the quilt we're raffling off, with most of the Governor's signatures...
This one of a kind, patriotic theme quilt is truly worth owning. The idea for the quilt was conceived by group leader Carole Burton, when we were brainstorming fundraising ideas for our school trip to Washington D.C.
The blocks with stars, hearts, shields, or bells have been signed by State governors and justices who are currently in office.
Sixty six letters were sent to the President, Vice President, all former living Presidents, the Secretary of Defense the Secretary of State and all the Supreme Court justices, and the governor of each state, with a letter requesting their signature and purpose of the request. Of those 66 quilt blocks, 42 were returned signed, 7 were returned unsigned and thirteen we received no reply. The lists containing detailed information and the letters which came back with the quilt blocks have all been compiled in a notebook which will be included with the quilt. Raffle tickets are priced as follows.
