    Wow, I love your quilt. I see nothing wrong with it. It is very pretty. Every judge has different ideas about stuff. I used to paint and people would ask who the judge was, so they could paint to her specs. ha. they knew what she did or didn't like.

    I didn't notice the slight 'bow' until Holice pointed it out. Now you know what the judge meant, and can figure out what made it bow and what to do to correct it in your next quilt. Of course, we all think your quilt is absolutely stunning.

    The quilt looks very pretty and very well done. If you cannot find the error as an artist, maybe just maybe this judge is out of line here. I know people who really don't ever like to admit a mistake, but that does not seem like you. You are asking everyone to point out the problem. Maybe no problem exist.
    Create something beautiful from scraps.

    I was in the judging of quilts for our guild's quilt show, and I heard that comment from the judge many, many times. In general she was talking about how straight the seams are....especially on long straight seams. She was being very critical of those..."Straight seams need to be straight". So, wherever you have long seams, be sure you maintain your 1/4", and be sure you sew straight! That's what it means.
