To the uninitiated, all the quilm looked equally spectacular. but quilts are judged out of 100 points determined by several categories: 1) the quilt must meet all the requirements set out by the competition, such as size; 2) the quilting line must be close enough so that when a list is placed on the quilt it must not meet empty fabric; 3) the colour must suit the pat tern, subject or design; 4) the fabric cannot be mixed. it must all be the same. for instance all cotton or all poly-cotton: 5] the binding or edge must be equal and the hack must reach the outer edge of the ; binding; and 6) the stitches must be even and go through all three layers that make up a quilt, Dorothy Gillespie and Jean Reilly. the judges from Hillsbnrgh, had the diflicult job determining the first, second. and third plane wirmers in each of the 17 classes The 53.700 in prize money went to the following: Class One â€" Theme Wall â€" lst Joanne Miller, Tara; 2nd Kathy Boycott.
