Would like to take this a step further if I may. I was recently contracted to make a quilt. My design etc. Customer has paid me etc. I still have the quilt as I am going to enter it in the fair this year with her blessings. IF I get a ribbon, do I still keep it? Reason for this ? is I have been paid for the quilt. Opinions please.
If you explain your situation to the quilt committee at the fair and ask there should be no problem with you getting a second non recorded ribbon for the quilt. I know our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, place ribbons are in a big box, get as many as you need for the judging. The Best in Show and Grand Champion ribbons are numbered though. I have been working with my our local fair for years and there are rules but mostly they are guidelines and many exceptions are made that doesn't effect the outcome one way or the other.
