Tilkkuyhdistys Finn Quilt, the Finnish Guild, was founded in 1990 and currently the Guild has about
1,800 members, some living abroad.

The Guild has nearly 80 local groups in Finland and three groups in Spain for Finnish quilters living there. Finn Quilt publishes a quarterly magazine.

The AGM is held in March with exhibitions, workshops and lectures. Every two years Finn Quilt organises a competition with varying themes and every two years we have a large exhibition open to all members.

Local groups do a lot of charity work, especially by donating small quilts to the Neonatal Intensive Care Units.

Finn Quilt acts in close cooperation with the other Nordic Countries and together we organize a Nordic Quilt Meeting held every three years: the next one will be in 2006 in Helsinki, Finland
