I asked that question to one of the Paducah "big name judges" once when I was taking a class from her. She told me as she broke into a huge hearty laugh..."We don't get that picky!! There is NO way that we have the time to examine every inch of every quilt to make sure no line of quilting touches or crosses another. We can't understand why people keep these ideas going!!"...SO.....that was from one of the "official" quilt police. I'm going with what she said. LOL
Your Cat quilt is fantastic, made for a great cause and you shouldn't worry one second about what some old biddie said about it.
