Route 66 2026 Centennial Celebration ART Quilt Project
Hosted by Art Bits STL and created by members of Bits ’n’ Pieces Quilt Guild, this exhibit is our art quilt version of a “drive” down Route 66. It contains 66 individual 24” x 24” pieces, each depicting a different location/attraction. All eight states, Illinois to California, are represented, including the beginning, end, middle, and “birthplace”.
