The historic Sesquicentennial Quilt was created to commemorate Clay County, North Carolina's historical past. The planning committee began with members of the Misty Mountain Quilter's Guild. Several women jointed the task of creating quilt blocks that would accurately depict Clay County scenes and its history. Quilters included: Marilyn Edkin, Cathy Hogan, Becky Keller, Helen Firor, Louise MacDonald, Diane Banakas, Carol Smucker, Carleen Brock, Cheryl Powell, Beverly Adkins (Chairperson), Judy Crawford, and others.
