Huh? That's a new one. What's the deal? What did you have to prove?
Really?
We have to provide pieces of fabric .... I think it's to prove that we made it, rather than having gone and purchased the quilt. Last year was my first time showing, and I was so nervous at all the protocols and whether I'd do them right. Had not clue how to present the different fabric pieces ..... I noticed that some literally gave scraps on safety pins. Some had squares of each piece all nicely cut. One lady I met showed me hers .... nice sized pieces of each except for one where she had found a scrap about the size of a postage stamp!
Now, if I think there's any chance I might show the quilt, I've been stashing the pieces in an envelope, to be ready!
