How Many Quilts Can a QU Member Enter?
- The total quilt size/space per person is 64″x75″. (Which is a “twin” quilt in some books.) So 1 quilt or 50 quilts, if they fit in that total space you may enter them.
- They will probably not be displayed together; each requires all the same things (label, pillowcase, etc.).
- If you enter a Challenge Quilt, it is considered separately and does not need to fit in the 64″x75″space.
