I think everyone feels the same way, particularly in the beginning.
Think about it: in a show with 200 quilts, if the the judges spend 3 minutes each with a quilt, that's 10 hours of work. No way can they find all my mistakes in 3 minutes, LOL.
I have learned that I'm my own most critical judge. There are some comments I take with a grain of salt, but mostly I agree with the judges comments on my work. I'm thin skinned, but I've never felt like the judge nit-picked me or hurt my feelings.
And, I truly enjoy looking at my quilts hanging in a show. I like listening to what other people say about them. If I don't win, I like looking at the winners to see what I can do better next time.
