Howdy y'all :c)

Recently I posted a picture of the "Apples For the Teacher" quilt I made for my daughter's teacher. She loaned it to me long enough for me to enter it in the county fair, and I got third place!!! I just started quilting 10 months ago, and didn't sew at all before then, so I figure 3rd place is pretty darn good! I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited!!!!!!!!!!!! :c) So should I go whole hog and enter it in the state fair? Whaddya think?

Congratulations!!! Wow you placed third and you are a brand new quilter, that's amazing!!!

Awesome! OF COURSE go to state!

wow, very nice!! What is in the white and red squares that look like maybe pages of a book?

Def. go for the state fair!!!

Gorgeous quilt. Absolutely, you should enter it in the state fair!

Congratulations! Wonderful quilt!!!!

Congrats on your ribbon! That is awesome, especially as a newbie. Am also curious about the squares that look like pages?

Congratulations!

Congrats!!!!!!!!

Thank you! :c) The red and white blocks are drawings of children, and have the "Days of the Week Children" poem in them. The top one says, "Monday's child is full of grace", the next one is "Tuesday's child is fair of face". The funny thing is, I didn't know when I made the quilt that my daughter's teacher had a pre-scheduled C-section with her daughter, and she used that poem to decide which day of the week her daughter would be born on. So it turned out perfect that I found that fabric! :c)

Of course you should enter it! (If your friend the teacher can stand to be without it, that is.)

It is a great quilt -- you must be a natural!

Wow, congratulations, that is a gorgeous quilt! I am so happy for you!

Congradulations and of course you should enter. Why not?

congratulations! beautiful quilt.

Congratulations... Great job

Well done.

Congratulations and a new quilter to boot!!!!

Yaaaaay! ~~clapping and smiling~~ Of course you should enter it....how many of us can say we have placed, or even been entered into the state fair....we will be your biggest supporters......

Congratulations and Go For It in the state fair too :D:D:D

Yes, go ahead and do it. Then when you return the quilt to the teacher, also take her the biggest and prettiest apple you can find, also a big apple pie!!! And maybe an apple shapped pot holder.

Way to go!!! Third place isn't too shabby especially for a new quilter. I think you should definately enter the State Fair, what do you have to loose? You should be very proud of yourself.
