The City of University City wraps up its year-long Centennial Celebration with a collection of colorful quilts on display November 27 - December 29 in the City Hall rotunda. Circle in the Square Quilters, is a U. City-based quilting guild. In keeping with the Centennial theme, quilters were issued a challenge to produce pieces depicting ‘fun things to do in U. City.’ When the last threads were cut, six pieces emerged bearing images of our eclectic community. Designed as artwork, instead of function, the one-of-a-kind quilts range in sizes from 30” x 30” to 60” by 60” including: Fun in U.
