C'mon! If you hear 1 negative comment it will ruin the enjoyment you get from quilting? Really? If someone says something negative, take it with a grain of salt and move on! If the judges have comments about your quilt, you may learn something that you wouldn't have the chance to learn otherwise. Why assume this will be a negative situation. You are going into this situation assuming it will be terrible, who knows it might be positive feedback. If 1 comment has soooo much power over you, how do you get anything done in life? I have a friend much like you, she is so worried about things she has no control over. Why worry about something you can't control. Give it a chance, you might have fun.
