Oh, I hope so - but the judges are very picky, as they should be. Trouble is, if you don't have a long arm machine, it can be difficult to get everything perfect - for example, I did the quilt in two pieces so I could fit the material under my machine, and then sewed them together - some judges don't like the back to be in two pieces, even if you hand sew it (which I did - I like handsewing!) and stuff like that.

But people will get to see it and it might inspire them to make one!

I did not know you could do a quilt in 2 pieces?I have a hard time trying to quilt because of the size of my machine.Tell me how you did it,please.

I really like this quilt more everytime I look at it and I've wanted to make one for Son1 and his wife but she can be particular for sure. I think this one has a real Awe factor.
Can you tell me the size/dimensions please?
Good Luck at the fair, I hope it makes state for you.
