A magnificent collection of quilts

One of the things that makes AQC extra special is an outstanding collection of quilt exhibitions – many of these will only be seen at AQC. We bring in exhibitions from overseas, our tutors bring their award-winning quilts with them, we hold an annual challenge and several new exhibitions will premiere at AQC. One of the highlights of the event is the new Best of Australia display – the Best of Show quilts from guilds around the country will be displayed and judged for the Bernina National Quilt Award which will be announced at the Gala Dinner on Saturday night.
