Consider yourself fortunate. I entered three quilts in the Williamsburg show, back when they had it there. I won the vendors award on my "Shakespeare in the Park". Had wonderful critiques on it. The other two I entered, were much better design, color, etc. I got a full page of critiques on each. After I stopped crying and really read them, I had to agree and it has helped me tremendously to make better and more winning quilts. It was the little nitty gritty things, that I had to admit, if fixed would make a better quilt. Like when you have an intersection of 8 fabrics, (Pinwheel)does it stand out a little after the quilting, and is a hard little knot. Well, one judge drew out how to do it plus after you do, you spray, hit it with a rubber mallot, then press. It works. But I now will never enter a design with intersections like that.LOL
