The judging is "blind", meaning all I know is what category the quilt is in, and each category is judged as a whole. Best of Show is selected from all the First Place quilts in each category.
Some of these photos were taken just before it was time for me to leave, many of the ribbons were not yet in place, nor the placards with the quilt information, so I am not able to give credit at the moment. I hope to get this information and will update this post to recognize the maker and quilter.
