All entries must be machine quilted – either with a Conventional sewing machine, where the quilter sits down and moves the quilt under the machine to quilt it; or with a Longarm (or Shortarm) machine, where the quilt layers are set up on three rollers and the quilter stands and moves the machine over the quilt to quilt it.

• You may enter up to two (2) cloth quilts by submitting the required entry form, photographs, and fees. Exception: A “Show Chair’s Choice: Good Enough to Eat!” category entry will not count as one of your two entries. (So, essentially, you may enter up to three quilts…if one is “Good Enough to Eat!”)
• Incomplete entries will not be accepted. Each quilt must have a 4" (finished) sleeve securely attached to the top back of the quilt and an identifying label (name, address, telephone number, and quilt name) on the back in the lower left corner. (See sleeve directions in the Registration Booklet.)
• Please complete one form per Judged entry.
• QTW 2006 Faculty members are not eligible for this Judged Competition. In the case of a Two-Person entry, a Faculty member may not enter, but may be one of the two people involved. If one of these quilts wins a cash award, the Faculty member will receive a ribbon only. The prize money will be donated to a charity of her/his choice.
• All decisions of the jurors and judges are final. QTW reserves the right to reject any entry, including those that fail to follow the contest rules, that exhibit poor quality construction, have been misrepresented by the photographs, are soiled or stained, or do not adhere to the size restrictions.
