Quiltfest uses pro judges(certified), and they are not suppose to be bias to certain quilts. Many moons ago they had a judge that didn't care about earth tone colors. Needless to say those qluilts were not chosen. The written notes are really helpful in learning what can be improved or added the next time. I'm just curious if there was judging for placement in the art quilt category? I didn't go to Quiltfest due to other commitments. I really liked your art quilt, and don't pay any attention to negative comments.
