Says entrant #246-401 from Sequim, WA, “It was the summer of my hysterectomy. Instructions said to quilt it in the ditch, or seam line. I assumed that meant FROM THE BACK. So I started in the middle, flipping and sewing each seam from the back.” The judges unanimously awarded her the “Creative Technique Award” even before realizing that the quilt measured 82" x 108".
