As part of the centennial observance of the start of World War I, The Kansas City Star and the National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial are offering an opportunity for readers to exhibit completed versions of the 2014 Star Quilt, “Where Poppies Grow … Remembering Almo,” at the museum. The quilts will be displayed June 19-21.

If you would like for your quilt to be considered for exhibition, submit the following images and information to quilts@theworldwar.org by April 30: a photo of the entire quilt (not just a block); the completed dimensions; the name of the person who pieced the quilt and who quilted it; a street address; phone number and email address.

We also will accept the same for single blocks if you have not completed the quilt.
