I think you should be looking for a new quilt guild. One that is not narrow minded. I would think small people would appreciate small quilts LOL
I think they are absolutely beautiful.

Your QUILTS are just amazing. That quilt guild doesn't know what it's talking about - they need to read up on it and learn!
Are your mini's hand pieced or machine pieced - they are very very attractive.

I really believe the practice of not including such beautiful work in the show should be addressed at the next guild meeting. Perhaps the powers that be, would be willing to include a category for the miniature quilts. It is a disservice to both the members and the viewing public when intricate work such as yours is not included.

These little Jems are great.Wish I could do that. They are quilts and should be judged as so.

beautiful work . I think mini quilt are harder in some ways cause they have such small pieces to handle. Don't care what those ladies said they are quilted and agree with the others it is a technique not a size.

Beautiful quilts! I disagree about the small ones not being quilts. I don't think the size has anything to do with it.

I am so sorry that those quiltzillas had to try and make you feel small...(Pun intended). The dictionary says "a quilt is two layers of fabric with batting in between, that is held together by stitching." They are just very jealous of your obvious talent. I love your work. I admire people who can make things in miniature. Taint as easy as what THEY do. :thumbup:
