Nice to read that list. I have yet to put one of my quilts in a show that is "judged." Our local quilt show is going on this weekend, and I have two quilts in the show. However, these are all shared and appreciated without "competition." Their only request is that a quilt have not been shown in another quilt show before this one. Great participation, they offer short demonstrations, and this year they had some great new vendors (I purchased a hand knitted winter hat, and a "perfect 1/4" type guide that I can use on any sewing machine.
Maybe in the future I'll try to participate in a quilt show where judges look over every detail (shudders with the thought)!
