Just some ruminations from me.
How boring would it be if there were a formula for designing a winning quilt!
I may enter my quilts in shows, but I don't design them for shows. I just try to do the best I can and make the quilt I want to make. If the judges like it, terrific. If they don't, who really cares? I like looking at my quilts, they make me feel good.
