This quilt is soooo show worthy! I have been in the judging room at my guild's show. Most judges are kind. They don't really have the time to go over them with a fine tooth comb unless it's a big money show. Think Houston. One of my friends judged that show a couple of years ago. The biggest thing I hear comments about is bindings. Judges like straight, full bindings, unless of course, the quilt has scallops! HaHa. Please let us know how you did! Another big comment is 'stops & starts' on the back with machine quilting.

Thank you so much for your kind comments. It really means so much to hear everyone's praises. I did do the quilting myself though it was done on my domestic machine, not a long arm.

I made it a point, though more time consuming, to bury all my thread ends at start and stops. Hopefully that will help in that area. I tried to make sure my binding was full of batting too.
