Rules for Quilt Shows
My friend just finished a very nice baby quilt. She does a great job piecing her quilts but has them quilted by a person with a long arm quilting machine. This person suggested my friend have the quilt entered in a local quilt show.
If you enter a quilt in a show shouldn't it be completely done by the one entering it or is it okay to have it quilted by someone else? I don't remember this being mentioned before here on the quilting board.
Are there rules for this?

Each show has their own specific rules. I think generally in most shows it's okay to have more than one person credited on the quilt - for instance, pieced by Dolly Parton, quilted by Kenny Rogers. I've seen quilts with an entire group of people given credit. However, read the rules VERY CAREFULLY because there are a few shows that require the quilt to be made entirely by one person.

Absolutely not. But to win a top prize in a top show, it probably will be.
And remember, there are all kinds of quilt shows, and they have different rules for everything. And in many shows the quilts are not judged, only admired.

Often there are a number of categories in a quilt show including one for pieced by one person and quilted by another... Lots of entries are done by more than one person- you have to put each persons name on the entry/info sheet-give credit where due/and enter it info the correct category.

at our guild this morning, we were notified that if someone else quilts your quilt for you, it is not eligible for the awards... seems strange to me.... but i'm new there so not questioning it
