The Euphoria Quilt is a group quilt project that aims to be a communal archive of gender expansive joy during a time of unprecedented persecution and scapegoating of trans and gender variant people. 

Any trans, nonbinary, intersex, or gender nonconforming person is invited to send in a quilt block that explores or exemplifies their own gender expansive joy.

Queer people (regardless of gender identity or expression) are also encouraged to send a block on the same prompt, with the awareness that to be queer is to challenge gender as a concept - something that the people who hate us find very threatening. You are encouraged to consider the ways gender-expansiveness adds joy and possibility to your life, as it does for all of us. 

Once all blocks are collected, they will be pieced together and turned into a completed quilt top, and then hand quilted with community support. The hope is that the quilt will be an expression of a truth that trans and queer people have always known: that joy is far from frivolous, and it is ours to have.

Block submissions are closed as of 10/31/23. Please peruse this Substack to get updates on the project as it moves along. You can also subscribe to be sure you never miss an update!
