Here are some common questions about the WSQ Quilt Show. If you can’t find the answer to your questions here, please contact one of the quilt committee chairs.
You may enter up to 5 quilts in the show.
Quilt entry is open to both members and non-members. If you are not a member and would like to register online, you will need to create a non-member account. This will allow you to sign-in and edit and print your entries as needed.
The first 100 people to enter a quilt in the show receive a commemorative pin. The pin will be on one of your quilts when you pick them up after the show. Only one pin is awarded per person regardless of the number of quilts entered.
The ribbons are based on people’s choice. Upon entry into the quilt show, you’ll receive a quilt show program and a ballot. There are ~20 categories; you’ll vote for your favorite quilt in each of the listed categories; drop your ballot off in the ballot boxes located at the entrance of the quilt show. The ballots are tabulated by our Ballot Counting Team. The top three quilts in each category are awarded 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Ribbons are placed on the quilts Saturday evening after the quilt show closes for the day.
This is subjective on the part of the quilt maker. Determine the main focus of your quilt, what makes your quilt unique, and what do you want the viewer to focus on. This will help you determine which category to choose.

Yes, as long as you can provide the finished dimensions of the quilt and select a category, you may enter your quilt before it is finished. Of course, the quilt must be finished before the show in October!

- Write the word “top” on a piece of muslin and slip stitch it to the TOP CENTER BACK of your quilt.
- Label each quilt with your name, address and phone number on muslin stitched to the LOWER LEFT BACK

No. The quilts are pinned to sheets for hanging and do not require a sleeve on the back.
Drop offs are from Sat, Oct 1 through Sat, Oct 8 at the location you selected on the entry form. Your quilt bag label and receipt will be ready for you ONLY at the location you put on the form. DO NOT drop elsewhere without working with the Registration Team. When you Drop-Off your quilt, your bag is labeled, and you get a receipt for it. You will need that receipt to pick up your quilt after the show. If you need to change your drop-off location, contact the Registration Team at [email protected].
Pick up your quilt on Sunday, Oct.16 between 6:00-7:00 pm at the Fairgrounds (404 N. Havana, Spokane)
If your quilt wins a ribbon and it was quilted by someone other than yourself, you will receive two ribbons: one for you and one for the quilter. Please give the quilter their ribbon.
If you volunteer for a minimum of 4 hours, you will receive a wrist band for free entry into the show all weekend.
