The Miami Valley Quilters’ Guild met last night, and they announced the winners from last weekend’s show. Our guild doesn’t use a panel of judges to pick the winners. Instead, each person that comes to the show is given a ballot as they enter, and they get to vote on their favorite quilt in each category.

“Quilt Queen” can be found at http://mariaelkins.com/index.php/quilts/quilt-queen/.
