The Oh Wow! Miniature Quilt Collection was assembled by Bill Schroeder with assistance from Klaudeen Hansen of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. These quilts have been donated to the museum. They must be not simply small quilts but must be made to scale. The Best Miniature Quilt purchase award, sponsored by Benartex, Inc., at the annual AQS Quilt Show and Contest is how the collection will grow.
