Thanks for the input. I am making a "how to" sheet to be included with the Submission form, and will add these suggestions there. I like the idea of the log cabin around empty space idea. When I send the Submission forms out, they are allowed to enter 3 quilts, with the stipulation that if we get alot of quilters wanting to be involved, they may not get to enter all 3. So far, I have not had to turn any quilt away.
