Well her church friends were there and voted for her and quess what she won a blue ribbon and someone who has been quilting for 40 yrs and sells her quilts at keepsake quilting got zippo. This year I will not enter anything in the quilt show after last years fiasco.

Ours was not like that. We had one out-of-state judge for almost 400 quilts and many categories.

That's a pretty quilt. I have lots of "purple-happy" friends who would strip that off the wall & take off with it. :)

My husband says that is "his quilt," so they would have a hard time getting it away from him.

This was a big show with about 400 quilts and many categories. I'm not realy sure who won in this category; there were more than sixty (60) quilts in it -- Pieced Team Large. I pieced it and a friend quilted it on her APQS machine.
