As always, there were some amazing quilts on display, and it was impossible to see all of them in just one day. Up until recently, I would go for all 4 days, and still managed to miss things! Anyway, here are a selection of the winning quilts, if you click on the pictures to enlarge them you'll be able to see them in greater detail. I've indcluded the information for each category that was included in the competition catalogue. 

Two Person - sponsored by the Craft Cotton Company

Participants must declare whether their quilt is the result of pure collaboration or was professionally long armed. The services of the same professional quilter may be used by more than one entrant in this category.

Modern Quilts - sponsored by Pfaff
For quilts that are minimalist with clean, modern design and using a strong visual impact. They often use asymmetry, improvisational piecing, a reinterpretation of traditional blocks or the lack of a visible block structure.
