I must admit that the quilts in the big shows are way beyond me. I still enjoy looking at them but know I'd never be able to produce a quilt anyway as beautiful. Luckily I quilt because I enjoy it and not to compete at that level.

I agree with you. I like looking at the quilts but I like more quilting for enjoyment.

When I first started quilting, I would come home from quilt shows feeling totally defeated....no way. but now, I have learned to accept that the people that enter these shows are more "professional" and real artists. I am not and so I do what I do and am happy. I enjoy shows now and enjoy seeing the accomplishments of these talented quilters.....
