• We do not accept quilts that have been in previous KVQG shows, tied quilts, quilt tops, pillows.

• Panels will be accepted if they have been modified with piecing, deconstruction, or other quilting techniques beyond adding a border or machine quilting.

• All quilts over 200" perimeter must have a 5” (minimum) hanging sleeve with the top and bottom of the sleeve sewn securely to the top of the quilt back or they will not be accepted. Quilts longer than 102” will be adjusted at the show so that they do not drag on the floor. Sleeves are not necessary on small wall hangings, boutique or crib quilts.

• We reserve the right to refuse or not hang a quilt that does not meet our requirements. For example, strong perfumes, smelling of smoke, stained quilts, or dog/cat hairs, tied quilts.
