Make a quilt that will be a treasure for you, that way there is no
dissappointment when others judge it. I have entered a few and whenits all said and done. Some have won , and others not. But I will have the piece for alot longer , so do not invest the time or $$ just on the idea/hope of a ribbon... because you can never really gauge the "direction of the wind" that day for the people judging.
