That quilt is just glorious. I'd sure hate to be a quilt judge. I know they look for specific things but it must still be hard.
I now have a Bargello book "Twist and Turn" by Eileen Wright that somebody on here referred to so I'm studying the patterns to figure out how to start. Yours gives me inspiration to get started.
The bk. is very intimidating though so I will have questions for those of you who have made them
Congrats on your ribbon.
