Our guild show doesn't allow kit quilts to be entered for competition.
G They also don't allow kitted block of the month quilts and such. IF
there is room in the show these items may be entered for display only.

Along the same lines they also do not allow whole cloth that are
pre-stamped with the quilting design. sigh. (That one I don't
understand...... especially with the small ones that are a single
stencil. why should it matter if I transfered the design, or someone
else did it?? I am doing the quilting-- selecting the backing, batting,
thread and finishing. sigh)

I agree with you. And also think that kit quilts should be labeled as
such. We all know to acknowledge the designer of the quilt on the label,
well, the selection of the fabric is a part of the process that should
also be credited. In my opinion anyway. VBG

I was admiring the gorgeous quilt that won the top prizes at this
year's local guild quilt show a few weeks back today. It was made by
one of the owners of the LQS here. I opined that picking the fabrics
must have been really a hoot when she said that she hadn't picked any,
it was a kit.

OK, I understand somebody entering a kitted quilt if they are just
getting started, but ...... this struck me as just a bit unethical.
The show is viewer's choice and the quilt is stunning. It's paper
pieced and the design just seems to glow. But she didn't really make
those fabric choices.

What do you folks think? Am I just being rude and snitty, as my DH
suggests?
