Is this art?

All the competition categories at the Festival of Quilts are open competitions, ie anyone who fulfills the entry criteria may enter and have hung, a quilt.  However there is one exception and that is the Fine Art Quilt Masters, which is a juried competition and is judged by a panel of leading figures drawn from both the art and quilting worlds.  Anything goes!  Here are just a few we liked that are on offer in this year's gallery:


Sara Impey, social fabric


Helen Parrot, Nine yards or thereabouts
