Eligibility:
All members of RNQG may enter as many quilts as they choose for display in the biennial quilt show. Only the first 3 registered are guaranteed to be included in the show. Additional quilts will be allowed as space permits.
Rules and Regulations:
- Each quilt submitted to the show must have a 4" hanging sleeve attached to the quilt unless it is a wearable or home dec item.
- There must be a label sewn onto the quilt back which contains the name of the quilt and its maker.
- No unfinished quilts or tied quilts are accepted for display in the show.
- Members will be given bags purchased by the guild at the time quilts are brought to the show venue. Ultimately, every quilt will be labeled and individually packaged. Instructions for the process will be sent to members with the assigned quilt number. If you have registered more than one quilt, please make certain that assigned numbers are attached to the correct quilt!
- All entry forms must be submitted by the deadline specified. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS!
- Every member is expected to assist with preparation for, or at the show because our quilt show is the primary fundraiser for the guild and proceeds from it help defray program costs for the next two years.

- On the day of their volunteer shift at the show, members will not be charged for admission. A member must pay for admission on any show day on which they do not volunteer.
