General Merit: "Another brick in the wall" by Pam Thompson
"Had fun making this. I started with some strips left over from another project, added some more to compliment and used the easy "strip & flip" technique to put it together. My daughter said she thought it looked like wired brickwork, which prompted the name."

Hand Quilting: "It's Mine!" by Brenda Bailey
"I started this when I was very new to quilting and found it very hard to make - nothing fitted. The quilting took me over five years. People kept asking me who I was making it for and the answer was It's Mine!"

Machine Quilting: "Scrap Path" by Pat Miles
"This quilt was started as a project to use up some of the small pieces of fabric I had acquired from other projects. As the quilt grew so did the need for more light coloured fabrics. It was made when I lived in the USA and was quilted on a long-arm machine by Linda Martin of Kalamazoo, Michigan."
