I was wondering... If I have a quilt hand quilted, like by the Amish, does that disqualify a quilt as being done by an individual for entering in a show? Does it then need to be classified as done by a group?
How does having one done by a LAQ affect that classification?

Pam,
I don't think it will disqualify it.
The shows I have been involved in sometimes have quilts people have found and maybe quilted by them. The big show we just went to in Burbank, many were pieced by one person and sent out for machine quilting. It was just noted on the description. It will probably just change the qualification. I know some had even won ribbons.
Good Luck.

You usually just need to put the info as to where the blocks came from. You usually don't have to know the origin. I have seen many quilts, where someone found them in a trunk, a barn, someones grandmother. You just need to put as much info as you can about the quilt or blocks. There are many with unknown origin. It is just important to be able to share them.

I understand that everything should be stated. I just wondered about specific catagories. I've not entered in anything but the county fair but I thought that a quilt had to be entered in a specific catagory. I just don't know whether having one quilted by someone else means it cannot be in the catagory of Individual instead of by a Group.
For instance, I was reading the article about the recent winner of the Paducah show (I believe) and she said that her husband once said that he would work on it to make sure it got finished. She said they discussed it but if he did, then it couldn't be entered as an Individual work.

yes that is true, if more than 1 person worked on the quilt it is no longer an individual body of work.
you would enter as a group and be judged as a group. if you win money that would have to be worked out in advance how the group wishes to divide up the funds.
when you request someone to quilt your top to show standards either they will tell you no or they will ask for much more money then they typically charge to quilt a top - show standards are much higher than what someone typically does on a regular basis.
one wrong stitch and you've lost.
