Rules and Prep

Quilt entry rules:

All members of the guild are encouraged to submit quilts for the Tulip Time Quilt Show. Non-members may not have entries in the quilt show. PAQG board and the quilt show committee will have approval over all entries. Quilts should not have been in a previous PAQG show. Quilts will not be released early from the show.

Quilt prep:

Please inspect your item(s) to make sure all threads, pet hairs, etc. have been removed. Wash any soiled spots, Iron if necessary.

Please pin or baste a 6” sleeve to the back of the quilt. The sleeve should begin at least one inch below the top of the quilt and be no longer than 90 inches. If your quilt is wider than 90 inches, center the sleeve on the quilt. This tutorial makes a 4” sleeve. Cut yours 2” bigger.

Use the current year's registration link to enter each quilt in the show. Detailed information will help us plan for the arrangement of the quilts in the show and add interest for show attendees.
