Unfortunately no constructive comments as to where I could have improved so I really have no idea where my quilt fell short and therefore only received Honorable Mention. I was actually really looking forward to seeing those.
I would take these with a grain of salt unless the judge was a credentialed judge. Otherwise it could just be a person's perspective without any reason to it. However, if it was done by a certified judge that's another story. They have a lot of study and training and testing involved to get the certification!
