Contact us to find out how to become involved with the Appalachian Quilt Trail in your Appalachian region.
The AQT is a project of the Clinch-Powell Resource Conservation & Development Council, Inc.
with the support and participation of many other community organizations working to build and expand quilt trails in their local communities. The AQT is a way to bring them all together so that travelers can find every quilt block and businesses and communities can prosper from the project.We owe a debt of thanks to those persons and entities that participated in the development of the AQT. Their contribution of creativity, funding, hours of planning and network-building, and hands-on execution of necessary tasks such as gathering gps coordinates, painting & installing squares, and developing print collateral and this website, etc., have helped to bring the AQT from a charmed inspiration to full-out fruition, benefiting the entire region and all who wish to come and explore it.
