How exciting! I completely understand wanting to up your game and looking for professional, objective feedback. After all, every quilter starts out with no experience and has to build skills, and non-juried shows are a great way for quilters at every level to share their work and potentially be recognized. Some people, I know, don't want to enter shows and competitions — it's just not their thing — but for some of us, it's a completely realistic "next step." I wish you all the best for KCRQF and all the shows to come.
