To submit an “image scrap,” you can either drag an image from your desktop into the square, or click anywhere in the box to upload from your files. A fragment from this image will become the background of your quilt square.

Next, use your mouse to “stitch” a signature into the diamond. Click to place individual black squares and build up your letters or design.

When you're finished, click Submit Block. Wait a moment for confirmation, then view your square on the quilt.

A signature quilt is a quilt that includes embroidered, stamped, or signed names. These quilts were often made in the 18th and 19th centuries to commemorate special events, celebrate friendships, or even express political beliefs.
