  • All entries must have a sleeve at the top and a label sewn on the lower back corner of the quilt which should include the quilt name, maker’s name, and date completed (see instructions). Quilts being judged must have this label covered by a piece of cloth, basted in place, which is to remain in place during judging. 
  • Your quilt must not have any strong odors, e.g. smoke, perfume, mothballs, etc. since it will be stacked with other quilts. It must also be completely free of pet hair. Delivering a quilt not to be deemed SHOW READY may be grounds for refusal.
