I agree with the others. Enter your quilt & be proud of yourself. Take a picture of it on display so you can frame it for your sewing space. Think of it as your blue ribbon everytime you look at it.

I so agree. Let others enjoy your talents. I never enter to win, I always enter to share.

Enter it! Personally, I am so needlessly critical of my quilt right after it's done. When I go to a show or fair, the more quilts to see, the better.

I think you should enter it and just what might happen. FMQ is not an exact art, mostly how I quilt and I love doing it.

Enter it and see what happens. You worked hard on it, let yourself have the chance to shine.

I am another that does not always agree with the judges. I enjoy when there is a peoples choice award and we get to vote. Please enter so that you can inspire others.

I was very careful piecing the quilt and that went well, but I am not the greatest with FMQ, I got my sweet sixteen a little while ago and have been practicing but now that I have the FMQ all done I'm not sure it's good enough to enter it.
What would you do enter or no,t even tho it's not the best FMQ
Thanks

Enter it. You'll be happy you did.

Enter it. Quilt shows are not life and death situations; they're meant to be fun. So put your quilt in the show and have fun!

Please enter it. I enter mine with not a care on how it is judged or how it compares. My quilts are not perfect. I am still working on FMQ skills. I enter just for me and to have the pleasure of it hanging.

Yes, go ahead. For one thing, you have filled out the forms and paid the fees. You might be surprised and win a ribbon.
