I do not know what your judges will look at, but I helped judge a state fair and they counted off if those v's were not stitched down they liked to see (or not see if you know what I mean) at least 2 stitches there front and back, and on both sides of the corners (front and back) of square quilts

Thanks for all who responded. Know what to do know!

Great job and I hope you win with this pretty quilt.

It's a beautiful quilt and the scallop border is unique. As for the binding, that is something that judges especially look at, so I would make sure it was tacked down properly in the "V's". I think appliqued flowers would make a great addition to the quilt, making it extra special. Good luck, I'm sure it will win a ribbon.

I don't know about the judging, but I think the blind stitch on the front and back of the Vs is a good idea.

It would be easier to judge about the flower with a longer view. I like the way the flower looks now -- it doesn't seem like overkill; but I wonder if adding vine and leaves would make it a little cluttered. I agree that the quilt as is without the added flowers is also beautiful. Lovely work!

It's really pretty, should win first place if you asked me!

Maybe reread the category rules.

That is a real beauty!!! I like the applique. You did a great job. Good luck.

You did a great job and it looks beautiful! I applaud you for entering a quilt in a judged show. I'm trying to work up the nerve--not there yet!

I like the idea applique (and especially love the scalloped edges) but maybe a smaller, more stylized flower if you add vines, etc.

I recently bought an instructional dvd on curved binding, done by Sharon Schamber, and she says to stitch down those seams on the "V"'s, just as you would a miter on a square corner. From the photo you gave, I like the flower in the corner a lot. Very pretty quilt! Good luck at the show.
