i chose them. there was no particular system involved. it was semi-random.
i tried to get a selection from across the years we've been online, from all skill levels, a variety of designs, etc.
there was no subjective judging or comparison involved.
i picked enough for a year, so will have to pick again sometime in late September for Nov 12 - Oct 13.
i am open to suggestions as long as they don't involve anything that would make somebody feel badly whose quilt was not included.
it's intended to be a fun thing, so i would enjoy hearing your ideas.
