10. All Open Home Arts and Crafts will be judged according to beauty and originality of design, harmony of color and materials, suitability of articles to purpose, and workmanship.

Suggestions and some points of judging:

· Quilts must be clean.

· The quilts should be neat, no unsightly thread showing on back or under top and knots in thread should be unnoticeable.

· Borders, binding, or other edge treatments should enhance overall appearance. (e.g. mitered corners should be neat and square.)

· Prints and solid colors used should compliment, repeat, or harmonize with the other colors in the quilt.

· All the points and corners should meet precisely in the patchwork.

· All seams should be complete and edges sufficiently fastened in place.

· Quilting stitches should be evenly spaced and uniform in length over the entire quilt.

· Binding should be sewn on securely so it will wear well.

· For a tied comforter, the knots should be secure and evenly space.

· For appliquéd quilts, use thread to match fabric and use blind stitching.
