Hi Maggie and thanks for the question. The text body of the competition above asks you to upload your competition entries to the UK Quilters United Facebook Group and the top six quilts liked by the members there will be uploaded to this page on 25th February for a further week of voting for the two top faves. If you have any further questions please ask away and we hope to see your entry.
