Yeah it seems they want perfection but if you don't have a long arm machine, its pretty hard to maintain the tension on the piece in order to keep lines straight, make sure there are no puckers (even with a walking foot, it is still a problem) and quilt it as a whole unit (I did mine in 2 pieces so I had to seam the back). I think frankly it will get a 3rd at the fair but I really want people to see it and hopefully be inspired to keep the craft alive. However it does will be up to the judges - everyone on this forum gave me tons of postiive feedback and suggestions which means a lot more to me than the judges' opinions!
