2017 Quilt Fiesta

Categories, Definitions & Descriptions For the purposes of this show, a quilt consists of three layers (a top, a layer of batting, and a backing layer). The layers are held together by quilting stitches and the quilting stitches must be visible on both the top and the back. Tied quilts will not be accepted except as noted in category 1400. Block-of-the-Month and quilts made from kits WILL be accepted and if judged, should be entered in an appropriate category. Judged Categories (if your quilt is not being judged it is placed in the 2000 category, Non-Judged.) The judging committee reserves the right to change a quilt category based on either incorrect selection, or number of entries in a category. Some categories may be combined if too few entries, other categories may be divided into smaller groupings based on quilt size to allow for competitive judging.

QUILTS MADE BY TWO PEOPLE:

These quilts are made by exactly two people and any division of labor is acceptable. Examples: one person made the top and a second person did the quilting OR one person made the top and did the quilting while a second person added the binding OR any other combinations that involves two people working on the quilt.
