Starting July 14, roughly 60 quilts will be on display at the museum. These quilts range in size from miniature to wall-sized. "I'm just so appreciative of the quilters that will share their works," Harward said. These quilters come from all over the United States. Most of the entries arc from Utah, but this year there is an entry from Wisconsin. Every year between 50 and 60 quilts are shipped to the show.

The admitted entries are then judged in one of six categories: bed quilt pieced; bed quilt appliqued; wall quilt pieced; wall quilt appliqued; miniature; and non-traditional.
