ECQG has arranged for the Matriotism quilts to be exhibited at venues around Georgia in 2026 and 2027. As of now, those venues are:

  • Atlanta History Center, Atlanta
  • Alpharetta Arts Association, Alpharetta
  • Booth Museum, Cartersville
  • Georgia Celebrates Quilts® show, Marietta
  • Georgia Museum of Agriculture, Tifton
  • Jekyll Island Arts Association, Jekyll Island
  • Marietta Cobb Museum of Art, Marietta
  • Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum, Carrollton

For this series of exhibits, the following requirements apply:

  1. ECQG will maintain possession of the Matriotism Exhibit Quilts from their submission at the October 2025 meetings until the end of the exhibit in September 2027. Matriotism Exhibit Quilts must be available for the entire period between October 31, 2025 and September 2027.
  2. From the Matriotism quilts, curators at each venue will select quilts that they wish to hang in their exhibit. Please understand that not all quilts may be hung at each venue.
  3. ECQG reserves the right to select the Matriotism challenge quilts that will be offered to the venues.
  4. You may enter your Matriotism quilt in the judged and juried Georgia Celebrates Quilts® 2026 Show. The quilts not entered will be displayed at the Show in the Matriotism special exhibit.
  5. ECQG will take the utmost care of all Matriotism Exhibit Quilts but cannot be held responsible for damage to your quilt or loss of your quilt.
  6. Quilts must be labeled on the back with your name and the title of the quilt.
  7. Quilts must be packaged in a cloth bag (pillowcase). No noodles are allowed. If you do not want your quilt to be folded, please make a cloth bag large enough for your quilt to be inserted without folding. The bag must be labeled with your name and the title of your quilt.
  8. ECQG and participating venues will not offer Matriotism Exhibit Quilts for sale. In the event there is interest in purchasing a Matriotism Exhibit Quilt, you will be provided with the prospective buyer’s contact information.
Matriotism Exhibit Participation(Required)
ECQG hopes that all Matriotism Challenge Quilts will be made available for the Matriotism Exhibit, which will travel around Georgia in 2026-2027. Will you allow your quilt to be part of that series of exhibits? If you check yes, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions above.
