That is a beautiful quilt and good luck with the show. Hope you win first place. Do be careful when you wash the quilt. I did a patriotic quilt, not like that but used the same flag fabric (the one you have on the back). My back was white with that fabric in a cross on the back and when I washed it, the red ran onto the white. If you wash it, I would suggest you use a product to set the colors or a color catcher.
