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!

Very nice quilt - I love how it looks so dimensional! I think the brown fabric with the lines on it and the way you used it make it look that way. Fabulous quilt!

Good luck at the Durham Fair? Where is the state fair?

Oh, Way cool. Let me know if you need tips. Yvonne can help as well since she did hers for her grandson - which is just Gorgeous.
