Judged Quilts Division
Entries in this exhibit may be the work of individuals or groups. Judging takes place prior to the show’s opening and is done by three judges. Judges for 2013 are Beverly Fine NQA CJ, Pat Harrison NQA CJ and Sue Reich.
Each quilt is judged individually on its overall appearance and the quality of workmanship. It is the intention of Maine Quilts to provide this as a learning experience, rather than a competition. Having a quilt judged is an opportunity to learn one’s strong points and weaknesses and provides the individual with knowledge to improve his or her quilt making as he or she continues to create wonderful quilts.
Each judge evaluates each quilt on the point system below and makes a brief statement critiquing the quilt. These scores and comments are sent to the quilter following the show. Ribbons are awarded according to the total points earned. |
Judged Quilts Guidelines
- Only 100 quilts will be accepted in the Judged Quilts Division.
You will be notified only if your quilt is NOT accepted.
