2. Entry Tags – ALL clothing exhibits must be described on an entry tag accompanying it. For example: dark blue wool skirt and jacket; red and white figured shirt. Entry tag placement: as you look at the garment place the entry tag, securely using straight pins or safety pins, on the right side of the garment and the hook of the hanger to the left

3. Identification Labels: Each item entered as a clothing, knitting or crochet exhibit must have a label attached stating: County, Exhibitor's name and age, project name and class in which garment is entered, and the number of years enrolled in the project exhibited. Wool entries must have the fiber content listed on the identification label. Attach a label on every component of the outfit using safety pins or by basting. Not responsible for unlabeled items.

5. Preparation of Exhibits: Please bring all wearable exhibits on wire hangers or hangers with a swivel hook ONLY. All exhibits not suitable for hanging should be entered in a self-sealing plastic bag and hung on a hanger.

As you look at the garment, place the hook of the hanger pointing to the left. Fasten skirts, shorts, and pants to skirt/pant hangers or safety pin on hanger. Each piece should be entered on its own hanger. If more than one hanger is used for an entry, fasten hangers belonging to one exhibit together with twist ties or rubber bands.

Quilt Quest

Scoresheet SF209

Pay Code 140

In Quilt Quest, 4-H members learn skills as they progress through the project. The least experienced 4-H exhibitor will select fabric, cut, and sew together only squares or rectangles in making the quilt top. They may have additional guidance in piecing the quilt block and layering together the quilt top, inner batting and the quilt bottom. Another person can do the quilting for them. If someone else does binding, the quilt must be entered in the intergenerational class.

In the Premier class, the 4-H member has developed skills to be able to do all of the work by himself/herself. This includes pattern and fabric selection, cutting and sewing individual pieces, layering the quilt top/batting/backing together, and quilting. Quilting may be done by hand, by sewing machine or by a commercial-grade quilting machine. After quilting, the 4-Her must finish the quilt by "squaring it up," put binding on the edge, and placing a label on the quilt which provides details about the quilt making process for historical purposes.

Please note the description of classes, which denote the degree of difficulty in construction and not the number of years in the project. A quilted exhibit consists of three or more layers. All quilted exhibits must be quilted (machine or hand) or tied. All quilt piecing and finishing must be the sole work of the 4-H member. Quilting, whether machine or hand quilted, may be done by another individual, except for the Premier Quilt class. No pre-quilted fabric may be used. Wall quilts must have a hanging sleeve on the back of the quilt or some method for hanging. All quilted exhibits must be clean and finished for intended purpose.
Supporting Information: On a half sheet of 8.5 inch x 11 inch paper, include an explanation answering the following questions: (Exhibits without supporting information will be lowered a ribbon placing)
- How and why did you select the design?
- Why did you select the materials and what materials did you use?
- Explain what you did and what was done by others
- What did you learn that could be used on your next project?

· All entry cards and support information must be attached using a safety pin. No straight pins.

· For all classes, 4-H members can choose fabrics for the quilt by selecting fabric from fabric bolts. 4-H members may also use “fabric collections” offered by manufacturers in a particular designer or fabric line. Fabric Examples are:

Jelly Rolls are made of (up to) 40 different strips of 2 ½” wide fabric laying on top of one another and rolled up to look like a jelly roll. The fabric is created by one designer or fabric line and compliments each other. In many cases, less skilled 4-Hers find it difficult to cut narrow strips with a rotary cutter and ruler, so this fabric selection may make it easier as they learn.
- Honey Buns are made like the Jelly Rolls with 1 ½” strips of fabrics.
- Layer Cakes are 10" squares of fabric from a manufactured designer or fabric line with different pieces of fabric “layered” on top of one another to look like a piece of cake
- Charm Packs are made of 5" squares of coordinating fabric and may be tied up with a string or scrap of fabric
- Candies are 2 1/2” squares of fabric from a manufactured designer or fabric line.
- Turnover is a collection of coordinating fabrics that are cut into 6” triangles.
- Fat Quarters are ½ yard cuts of fabric which are cut in half to make a rectangle that is approximately 18” x 21”. (One half yard of fabric yields 2 fat quarters). The “fat quarter” can be more economical to purchase for a smaller quilt because the purchaser does not have to buy the entire yardage width.
- Fabric Kit is a collection of fabrics cut in large pieces to accommodate the requirements of a particular quilt pattern. The 4-Her must cut out all of the smaller squares, rectangles, etc. to make the quilt top according to the pattern directions.

After fabric selection, youth can use a variety tools for cutting the fabric and completing the quilt. Cutting into pattern pieces may include hand roller die cutting machines that cut particular shapes which can be appliqued to fabric. This is allowed in the construction of the quilt.

· A quilted exhibit is made up of at least 3 layers. Exhibits must be quilted or tied through all layers.

· Fleece blankets not eligible in this division.

· Quilts must have a permanent label on the back in the bottom right corner with quilter’s name and date of completion.
