The "Quiltmaker's Gift" is a best-selling storybook about a generous quiltmaker who helps a selfish King learn that giving is the true secret to happiness.

In keeping with the theme of the book, Benartex Inc., Bernina and Scholastic sponsored a quilt challenge with an unusual rule: the quilters were to make a quilt THAT WOULD BE GIVEN AWAY after the challenge was over!

We hope you enjoy the photographs and little stories attached to these winning quilts. Check back at a later time to see the Honorable Mentions and more wonderful Quiltmaker quilts.
