oH i Oh I didnt intend to imply i was bothered, sorry if it came across that way.... i read what a couple other people said, and i learned more about the concept... apparently its a very nice thing small fairs do for new people coming into quilting. judge a block.

The people who made comments about just a flat piece of foam core a little bigger than the block, *pin* in some way the top two corners, and they can *flip it to look at the back* sounds like a simple and workable solution.

I would still call the Community Arts people at the fair and see what they advise, see if its *supposed to be plain white foam core and like people said, pin the top corners of the block to it. I imagine the name and entry information would be on the back, so the judges *wouldnt know who's work it was*.... My own instincts might be to cover the foam core with a pretty complimentary piece of fabric on its front, turned neatly around the corners to the back and stapled with tiny staples... hee hee but they may think that *marks who made that entry* ... i.e. maybe they are all supposed to be plain white... I dont know. Haha. Sounds like fun... are you only allowed to enter *one* ?? Good luck... let us know..
