Every year near the Austin area of Texas, there is a shop hop called Bluebonnet Trails. There are many quilt shops in the area that are involved. They run a contest a few months prior to the shop hop, showing the winning blocks in the shops during the hop.

They take these blocks later and turn them into quilts which are then donated.
