Yes and Yes!
Though ... we know how that goes.
With the judge done and and long gone ... all one can do is breathe deep and move on!
Then there was the time that the rules clearly stated ... mini quilt, maximum 20" in any direction.
Sure enough the winner was well over 20", both in width and length.
The judge and/or assistants obviously did not know the difference between min and max.
The funny thing (well not funny!), all of us who were not in the top three, truly had minis.
All well below the 20". All with basically 1/2" finished pieces.
Yes, the 2nd and 3rd placings were within the 20" but with larger pieces.
The entries were like two different classes by their "read" on mini quilts!
*sigh*
