The number of entries in each category varies too much year to year. Usually the person will ask what category should their quilt be in and if there are several to choose from, I or the other workers will always tell them which one has the least entered. It's not a big secret and shouldn't be. When someone enters a quilt in one category and it can be in another I always tell them if the other category has less entries if they want to change. Entering a quilt in a fair should be fun and everyone should have the same 'in the know' as anyone else.
