Amen, Laalaa!!
To put the situation in a better perspective, I was one of the judges at the quilt show where the cathedral quilt was entered. That's why the information from the show director set me back a bit! But, how do you judge a quilt, a work of art like that, so well done, but doesn't fit into any of the given categories?
We gave a special Award of Merit to the quilt in its own category, which came with a large blue rosette ribbon and premium the same as all other first place awards in the show.
Haha, I guess that makes me an official member of the Quilt Police Force. :)
