Be sure to review the category descriptions below to best choose
for your entry.
Remember that Solo entries are made entirely by one person; Duet
entries are shared efforts between two people; and that quilts made by more than four hands
typically belong in the Group category with exceptions for
Large, Kit and Youth Quilter entries.
These categories, with the exception of the Showcase, will be
voted on by the viewing public.
Members may register up to 3 entries within these
categories. One
additional entry is allowed in each of: Miniatures, Wearables,
and Accessory/3-D for voting.
Entries in the Membership Challenge or Special Displays
do not count against the three-quilt limit.
Refer to the Quilt Show Policies in the Roster for
further explanations of entry eligibility and policies.
