Project Linus Komfort Kids Quilt Contest
There are 3 categories: 1) Artistic, 2) Do The Most Good (Individual) and 3) Do The Most Good (Store Group or Guild).
The following rules apply to all 3 categories: Quilt top(s) must be made of at least 85% of fabrics from Avlyn's Komfort Kids Line. Quilt(s) must be made of a top, backing and batting. Quilt(s) must be received by Project Linus National Headquarters not later than September 1st for judging/tallying. Quilts that smell of smoke or strong chemicals (including perfumed fabric softeners),or have pet hair on them cannot be accepted as they may produce severe allergic reactions in children. Unfortunately, washing these quilts does not always remove the problem. Please use a lint brush or roller on your quilts if they are covered with thread or lint. Don't attach buttons or decorative items to a quilt. They can be a choking hazard. Please make sure to read the additional rules for each category.
