Has a Jury Ever Rejected Your Quilt From a Show?
I enjoy entering my quilts in the national shows that are close enough for me to drive to. It just makes going to those shows more fun for me.
When my first entry was juried into one of these shows, I was over the moon with happiness. It didn't win a ribbon, but it was an honor having it juried in, right?
I have had many quilts juried into national shows now and have never had one rejected. I earned a "judges choice" ribbon once, but that is the only ribbon I've gotten at a national show.
I entered my latest show quilt in my first international show just to see if it would be rejected. It wasn't... This quilt has already competed in two national shows without winning a ribbon so I don't expect to win one at the international show either.
It just makes me wonder if the juries ever reject any quilts. Have any of your quilts been rejected by a jury? Have any of you on this forum been on a jury in a major show? Can you tell me how many are rejected in your experience?
