Attaching Labels to Your Judged Quilt Entries (Correction)

PLEASE NOTE: There is a discrepancy between the instructions on the website and those mailed to entrants for attaching a label to the back of your entry for the judged competition. Here is the correct information:

If you have not yet attached your label, please attach it near the lower RIGHT* corner of the back of the quilt, cover it with a piece of cloth so the judges cannot see your name, and then pin the hang tag just above it.

If the label is already attached to the left corner, please leave it where it is and pin the hang tag near the lower RIGHT* corner of the back of your quilt.

*This means the lower right corner of the back of the quilt AS YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE BACK OF THE QUILT.

Note: Two categories were not listed on the Entry Form in the registration book, due to an error. They are: Non-Traditional, Large, 1 person, and Non-Traditional, Large, 2 Person. This has been corrected on the Entry Form on the web site, or you may write in the category if you use the form in the registration book.
