Default Which Class Would You Choose to Enter This Quilt?

I want to enter my Summertime Charades quilt in the State Fair of Virginia Quilt Show. I don't have a clue which class to choose so I thought I would ask y'all your opinion.

Class 6006: "Appliqued by machine" (it is mostly appliqued)

Class 6007: - "Mixed Techniques - both piecing and applique are used to develop the quilt top..." (the sashing is pieced)

Class 6008: "Wall Hanging or Art Quilt not intended for use as bedding." (this category would be appropriate too since it is a large wall quilt... there are too many fragile embellishments to ever wash it)

Very cute! I would go with the appliqued by machine category since that is the first thing I noticed.

It has great eye appeal so I would enter it in 6008 wall hanging or art quilt. If you have entered before, I might go with the category that has the fewest entries but there is no way to tell before hand.

I'd go with the 6008 art quilt category. It is cute.

All of the blocks are machine appliqued, so that is the category I would think it belongs in best. There are no pieced blocks in the quilt, so I don't think it fits in the mixed category. Does the wallhanging/art quilt category have a size limitation? Hard to tell from your photo, but it might be large for that category.

Unless there is a size limitation for wall quilts, I would go with that. 6008.
That is a darned cute quilt!

Very unusual. I'd go with applique as every block has applique picture on. It will get lost in some art sections.

I agree with Prism99. There are no pieced blocks in your quilt. There usually is size limitation so be sure to check on that. What is the size of the quilt?? I would check the applique category to see what size your quilt would be submitted. Usually there are various size subcategories.
