Congressional Quilt Show Resolution of 2026

This resolution establishes an annual Congressional Quilt Show to honor American quilters and their 250-year tradition of craftsmanship. The program would select winners through a lottery system among constituents who have received recognition at county fairs or similar events within their congressional districts. Winning quilts would be displayed outside Members of Congress offices by the Architect of the Capitol, with rules set by the House Administration Committee. The measure expresses support for the cultural and community value of quilting without mandating funding or creating new federal programs.
