The first quilt I entered for judging in our guild, I won a ribbon for third place. The comments by the judges were both good and bad - but I could see where I could improve. I was glad I was judged. Their next show, I entered two quilts for judging - each received horrible comments. I thought I would never enter a quilt again. The next show comes, I entered four quilts for judging. I won three ribbons - two were blue. Most of the comments were favorable, a few were not. Again, I learned from their comments. I am realizing, make something you love, enter it and learn from the comments. Remember, what a judge may not like, the visitors at a show may love. Not for the technical aspects, but just because they love the design, the color, etc. Good luck.
