Yesterday I spent all day at a judging day for our guilds quilt show.It was very interesting to help I was not a scribe, but a fanner.
we had 110 quilts to judge by a AQS judge and she was very informative.
The binding seemed to be very important ,hide those knots and stitches!and make sure that the corners are well done. another big item is the points on triangles , no cut offs please. and the fabric choses have to go with the theme of the quilt. the boarders lay flat and nothing disordered. when she looks on the back it must be smooth and she doesn't want to see where the guiltings ends and starts. It seems she always like multiple boarders.
I think the most important thing is that we enter our quilts so that every one can enjoy them. and the veiwers are not going to pick them apart.
we are diffently not doing it for the prize money.I got 3 second place this year at my fair and a check for $12. oh I got a judges choice award yesterday. our show is not till next week so keep it hushed
