One thing is for sure: you already know about the boo-boo, so if you do decide to enter it, it wouldn't be a nasty surprise being pointed out to you. However, there probably would be comments made and not only by the judges ... are you prepared for that? Or would you even be there to hear the comments, compliments and/or criticism? I wouldn't want you to get your feelings hurt, both on general principle and because the quilt and quilting are so fabulous.
