Your quilts are beautiful. I am a quilter and I am also a County and State Fair judge for quilting among other things. There are times when it is very difficult to choose winners as they are all great - other times not. But when you have a dozen or more quilts in one category and can only give one each 1st, 2nd and 3rd, you really have to get picky. If this happens I do try to make a comment on the back of the card indicating a very close contest.
