Amazingly beautiful work. May I ask how big the quilt is? It's always hard to tell from the photos. And I second what some others have said - what the heck won first place if you came in second?!!

You take first place in my eyes. That is stunning. I can't imagine how you started this creativity.

Thanks, everyone. I'm still grinning.

Remember the quilts are judged on technical aspects as well as visual, so the winner must have had better technique than I did.

It is about 24x36".
