Glad to see venues like this for the average quilters to submit their work
The quilts are beautiful. I am trying to figure a way to decorate using quilts as the focal point of the room.
So many creative and beautiful quilts! Very hard to pick one~
Everyone did a great job on this challenge and it was difficult to select just one from each category. Good luck to all of you.

I couldn’t tell how to vote! I clicked on the blue line under the name of the quilt, but couldn’t tell if it registered. Help!!
Gail,
If you’re seeing the blue line, that means someone already voted from your IP address. Perhaps a co-worker?
In order to control the vote as best as possible, each IP address can only vote once. Unfortunately, if you share an IP address with someone else, you may not be able to vote.
That said, check back in a few days, you might have a new IP address and can vote at that time. Technology, we love it and hate it some days.
Cheers,
Michele
wonderful and fun work.
However, perhaps the best tutorial on how not to photograph your quilts. It is always good to make it square in the camera frame, no extra background, and no shadows of trees or your body.
The photo makes the quilt in a competition, not all the hidden knots, and fancy hand work.
The competitors all appear to be extremely talented; their work(s) are beautiful and anyone would be pleased to own/display them.
