who ever quilts the quilt has to be included in the submission- some fairs allow a *2* person quilt- or have a specific category for 'group quilts' some do not accept them- it is always important to follow the 'rules' of the show/fair/venue. as for your statement;;;you will never be able to... why not? many fabulous quilters do their work on their domestic machines- it just takes the desire to learn and the practice.
