You have a lovely quilt! Good luck in the show. I have blocked quilts by lightly sprinkling them and then pinning them to the carpet, squaring all the corners and smoothing the quilt out and then letting it dry in place. It should hand straight them.

I need help please
Ok, The Quilters' Guild of Arlington Quilt show has come and gone. I would really like to thank all of you who assisted me with my quilt entries in this show. My Folklorio Star Quilt did not win any ribbons. The judges comments were:
My precisison of work was Satisfactory My quilting stictch needs improvement My striped binding is a good design choice Excellent intergration of difficult colors. Ambitious project. While I knew this quilt was not perfect, it was perfect for me. I love the quilt and I love quilting. Entering it into the show was fun and something I enjoyed every much. The judges comments were helpful and will be put to good use. I entered a total of 5 quilts. Only one quilt won a ribbon. It was "Gwendy's Dahlia Quilt", for our daughter who lives in Washington who has the most beautiful dahlia garden. This quilt won a second place ribbon. The picture has me and my mom who just turned 87. It was a great day and a great show. I posted all the quilts that I entered. Off to the sewing room to get started on next years show. Ok so I am electronically challenged tonight. None of the picture would attached. I will try again in the morning. Again, thank all of you for your kind words and encouragement. May God bless you all. |

I have no advice on how to hang it, but I wanted to say that your quilt is absolutely stunning!
|
WOW ,I can't help with question. Your quilt is beautiful the colors just Pop out of it.
|
Read your post about judging, someone needed their head examined, your quilt is beautiful
|
Sorry I have no suggestions, just wanted to let you know I think your quilt is major WOW.
|
I was shocked at that lackluster judge's score! =/ I would have been just crushed -- your quilt deserved something said about it that was much nicer than THAT!!
it is incredible. they were probably just mad that they couldn't take it home!! ;0)) |
It's a beauty, that's for sure. Good luck!
|
What an absolutely stunning quilt. Are you sure there isn't a problem with the sleeve?? If not, GOOD LUCK with the blocking. I have entered quilts into some large shows and first impressions does count. Then the Judges will look for details especially that the binding is straight and the corners are square. Your quilt is stunning and hopefully, you will KNOCK THEM OVER !!!
