Quilts may be hand or machine stitched. No pre-quilted fabrics or commercially pre-printed whole cloth quilt tops may be used.

- Any entry that is the product of collaboration must include the names of all collaborators. Collaboration on an artwork means one or more persons worked as a team to jointly create the artwork and each person contributed in some significant way to the artwork, sharing credit for its creation. This does not include the production of material used, paid labor, or contract quilting. Entry form may be completed by one person but must include all participants’ names in the collaboration field.
