Important Note:

 -*-  It is the quilters' choice to assign their quilts to a category for display in the show.

 -*-  Quilters will indicate their top 3 choices for categories applicable for each quilt

 -*-  The final decision will be determined by the quilt show committee based on the abundance of quilts in those categories.

There is not a “right” or “wrong” category to assign to quilts, but rather a way for viewers to see quilts in groups that is not overwhelming.
