can anyone make head or tail of this info about the judging of quilts in a show here?
Baltimore Quilts are very much derived from older forms. Copying someone else's copy of an earlier and original quilt did not seem the same as copying a recent design, and these we decided to allow.
i've read that i dont know how many times and it makes no sense at all to me. what am i missing??? shrug, j.
Seems to me -- that it is saying that if you copy .... someone else's copy... of someone else's original (okay -- an 1880's quilt is copied in the 1950's and now you copy that one....) would be okay.
But if someone comes up with a new design... and you copy that ... it won't be allowed.
In other words -- I see it as you can reproduce an old standard... but you can't replicate a new design by a current artist.
At least that's my take on it.
oh, i see what you're saying. its all in how you pause and what words are emphasized. still seems weird to me tho. you'd think they'd be able to put in a bit more clearly. oh well. thanks for that, Kate. j.
