Eddie, was this a judged show? Were these quilts that you could see yourself using on a bed? Were whites and lights used much in the tops? Competition seems to take a big bite out of what most quiltmakers have in mind for their finished quilts....we want ours to be loved and used by the folks we love enough to give them to. Some show quilts are just for show...and the makers want ribbons and recognition. It's all okay...there's room for everyone in the quilting world. I'm more about the two-sided quilts, myself...why not really enjoy both sides?
