Ever so often I get invited to co-judge the quilts of the county show. Most of the time my co-judge(there are 2 of us) and I pick 'Best of Show' not for the perfection of matched seams or perfect points. Rather we choose the quilt that knocks our socks off by using unconventional methods or outrageous color combinations that may not be my preference. A quilt can be sewn ever so perfectly, if it is boring, it won't win. I strive to be fair and not let my own tastes interefere with that.
