Ditto what Bree said, plus don't forget to stitch down the mitered corners on both sides. I have only entered one show...I was finishing the binding in the parking lot on the last day you could drop off your quilt for the show (never doing THAT again!). As I drove away, I realized I had only completed ONE full corner. Had a good laugh when the comments from the judge praised the quilt for having the mitered corners stitched down!
