Well, I am the odd man out. I quilt because I like to sew and love fabric. People that receive my quilts are my judges and if they love them then it is better than any ribbon on earth. That is all I need or want. I have always hated being tested and to me that is what judging is. Even though I did well in school I was always tied in knots over testing. Can't imagine putting myself through that with a hobby.
