Thank you EmiliasNan ... I hope you were able to get a look at it in the other thread, I linked you to. It was actually Grand at one other show last year plus a couple of other firsts too! I was thrilled, to say the least!!!

dunster, thanks for that link about flanges, I believe it has answered a lot of questions about flanges. I have used piped ones and they do take a bit more time. Think I'm going to add one to the quilt I'm working on now.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Absolutely they are. The first picture I have has a tiny flange next to the binding, and I won a blue ribbon with it. The second picture has the flange on the inside of the border and is a bit larger. I didn't enter it in a show as it was a gift, but I can imagine why it wouldn't be accepted.

I know they are fine in our quilt show but they state to be cautious about large floppy pieces like on flowers or leaves. They go in and out of the bag several times and can get folded or torn.
