That is a beautiful quilt!! And I'm sure the winner will love it.
I hope the "quilt cop's" comments don't bother you much as YOU know your work is quality.
I try to remember to respond to that kind of nastiness with, "Well, THAT was unkind!" and walk away. They are left with their bitter words and the knowledge that you are too gracious to make an equally nasty comment.
I hope you raise loads of $$$ for the schoolhouse... and that you have a good time to boot!!
Dona :P
