FOQ23 Group Quilt Entries and Winner

Join us for a look at the Quilt Entries and Winner of the Group Quilts category at the 20th anniversary of The Festival of Quilts at Birmingham NEC, which took place on 3rd-6th August 2023. Be inspired and enriched by the many thought provoking and beautiful quilting sights; more videos to come of competition entries, winners, gallery talks and more.
Group Quilts sponsored by Bombay Stores Fabrics
A single quilt made by more than two makers. Panels entered into this category must be joined together in some way, e.g. joined with tape or sharing a single hanging sleeve to become one quilt (rather than a series of pieces). 1st Prize - £1000, 2nd Prize - £500, 3rd Prize - £250
In all categories the judges will be looking for:
* Visual impact and the emotional response the quilt evokes
* The originality and content of the design
* The composition and use of colour
* The choice and suitability of materials
* Surface design and embellishment
* Construction and accuracy of piecing
* Design and execution of applique
* Design and execution of quilting
* A suitable finish (the edges of the piece) and how well the piece hangs
Credit is given for individuality and innovation in all entries.
