There are two quilt shows in my general area next month. The entry forms do not ask for name of pattern or designer, just the name of the quilt, size of the quilt, machine or hand pieced by, machine or hand quilted by, name or names. That's all. Most have the pattern or designer info in the general comment about your quilt section of the entry form. Just about half the quilts are made from classes held at shops or guilds in the last two years, the others from patterns or books or from online. Maybe one or two original designs if any. I read where some designers do not want their designs shown at shows made by others. I think it's a matter of liability for the show owner for a big show. Bigger show better chance of a lawsuit.
