As part of the America 250 Quilt Hanging Project, visitors are invited to experience the city in a whole new way with Find FXBG: Quilts—a free scavenger hunt that combines art, history, and adventure.
A Quilt Trail Like No Other
Stroll through Fredericksburg’s streets and discover beautiful handcrafted quilt panels displayed throughout downtown. Created by talented quilters from across the country, each quilt celebrates this year’s theme, “America the Beautiful,” while showcasing the creativity and craftsmanship of America’s quilting tradition.
The quilt display is the vision of Christine Lush-Rodriguez of Artful Dimensions and Joan Geisler of the Virginia Star Quilters Guild, who brought together artists from twelve states to help celebrate America’s 250th Birthday.
Quilts on display were created by quilters from:
- Virginia
- Maryland
- Connecticut
- New Jersey
- West Virginia
- Ohio
- Massachusetts
- North Carolina
- South Carolina
- Indiana
- Kansas
- Delaware
The quilts will remain on display throughout downtown through Sunday, August 2, 2026.
Join the Hunt
Think you can find every quilt?
Pick up a Find FXBG: Quilts scavenger hunt form at the Fredericksburg Visitor Center, located at 601 Caroline Street.
As you explore downtown, locate each quilt design and match it to your scavenger hunt form.
Whether you’re visiting for the weekend or have lived here for years, the scavenger hunt is a fun way to experience Fredericksburg through fresh eyes.
A Project That Gives Back
The America 250 Quilt Hanging Project is more than an outdoor art exhibit.
Once the display concludes, every quilt panel will be sewn together into larger quilts and donated to charity, creating a lasting legacy of comfort, generosity, and community.
It’s a fitting tribute to America’s 250th Birthday by bringing people together through creativity, kindness, and a shared love of quilting.
Make a Day of It
Turn your scavenger hunt into a full day of downtown exploration!
Stop for lunch at one of Fredericksburg’s chef-owned restaurants, browse locally owned boutiques, enjoy an afternoon treat, and take in the city’s rich history while searching for each unique quilt.
Don’t forget to snap a few photos along the way and share your favorites on social media using #VisitFXBG and #FindFXBG.
Happy hunting!
