I think it is fun just to see your own quilt hanging there. If you win, that's a bonus! It's so subjective, you really can't compare your quilt to others when it comes down to what won and what didn't, IMO. In a really BIG show, it comes down to tiny technical details, but in your average show it's much more subjective so just be happy seeing your quilt being enjoyed by all the spectators.
