CATEGORIES

Please read carefully before selecting the appropriate category of your quilt.

If the top of your quilt was made by 1 person and it was quilted by another person, it is considered a Collaborative quilt. If you used ‘found’ blocks” - for example, blocks embroidered or pieced that you purchased at an auction or flea market or that you found in a family member’s attic - that you used in your quilt, then you have a Collaborative quilt. If you have any questions regarding the category of your quilt, please contact Jill Coleman by phone: (717) 677-9332 or by email: aquilter16@hotmail.com.
