Some local quilters are putting together a community quilt for the nation’s anniversary. The Gillette News Record reports there are three days left to submit a square that has to do with American history or the nation’s flag. Once the quilt is complete, each quilter can sign their block. Then, it will be displayed at various 250th celebrations.
