Sometimes when viewing the show it's hard to determine which quilts were in the same catagory or "what was the competition to my quilt?".
At the present time, how fantastic, complicated and dense the quilting seems to make a big difference. I like the total design of the piecing and quilting. Traditional quilting doesn't excite me. Another reason I don't enter shows anymore.
I've given 2 wall hanging size quilts to businesses that in no way related to quilting. They're hung so customers definitely see them. The feedback about my quilts has been fantastic. They've also been displayed in banks and gotten fantastic feedback. Years later I still hear about them. This is the feedback I like, the general public was blessed by viewing my quilts.
