Since I forgot to post a reminder, I’ve extended the submission deadline for the Falling Leaves Quilt Show Photo Contest until the end of the weekend, i.e. November 16, 2008. Voting will start next weekend.

There are several gorgeous small projects, wall hangings, table runners, bags/purses, etc. that have been submitted. Therefore, I’ve decided to make a change to how the voting will work. Since there are three prizes that have been donated, I’ll split them into two groups. One prize for the small projects and two will go to the first and second place winners for the larger projects (there are more of them).

Note: It’s not always obvious to me from the photos how big a project is. You’ll see the projects are organized into the two categories below. I also went back and updated the first round of submissions too. Please check your entry, and drop me an email if I’ve put it in the incorrect place.

UPDATE: Don’t see your photo? There’s still a dozen to be posted. I’ve been working chronologically, and have entered those received up to November 5th. I’ll do another post on Monday for the rest of the submissions. No need to email me an asking where your photo is unless you sent it to me before November 5th and it hasn’t been posted. Thanks!!

UPDATED: Photos have been removed from this post. See link below to view all submissions.
