    I agree 100%, my fellings exactly. As long as I like it that is all that matters to me.
    Beautiful quilt BTW, and I don't see anything wrong with it.

    It's the perfect reason to enter a quilt. How can you know where you need improvement if somebody doesn't point it out to you?

    Besides, half the reason the public goes to the fair is to see the quilt display.

    beautiful quilt. I cant see it. but maybe up close the judge saw something. Sometimes I think they just have to say something ulgy about every quilt. we had that happen her a few times. didnt invite that judge back. ps.. I love your binding, I like to do that too.

    I have no clue as to exactly what the judges are referencing.... But I think your quilt is just beautiful. I really love all of it , the colors, inculding the color placement, and the pattern. Your workmanship appears to be spot on !

    I want to say I think your quilt is beautiful. I have looked real hard at it and all I can see from the pic' is that if the sashing appears crooked it might be an optical illusion due to color placement around the corner stones. Unless they used a long ruler on this quilt to proof it they are being way to picky. This is a fabulous work of art and you have alot to be proud of.

    I think this is hysterical. I just found this magazine and this quilt is on the cover. Is this where you found the pattern? I really like this quilt, but was wondering what a neutral would look like with the flying geese? I think for us to see we would need to blow the pic up or get right on the quilt. Nothing is screamingly apparent. I'm taking lattice work to mean the dark x's and I can see slight differences, but that could be the hanging weight???
    I think it is lovely and you should be very proud.
