Quiltingboard Forums - Celtic Solstice ribbon winner

I was so pleased and surprised to win an honorable mention ribbon for my Celtic Solstice at our Quilt Show in June. If you could have seen the "competition", you'd understand why I was surprised! I'll try to post 3 pictures; one of me in front of the quilt on the first day of the quilt show, the second picture on day two - after ribbons were awarded, and a close-up of my label. I'll also post what my labels says:

"Celtic Solstice - Pieced by Sally Walker
I started this Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt when she introduced the first clue in November of 2013.
The colors she suggested were a real stretch and challenge for me. I am not wild about yellow, but don’t mind it in small doses. Green is not my favorite and orange is my least favorite color of all. But I decided to trust Bonnie and go with her color recommendations. I did do a little substituting; magenta for orange here and there, teals and aquas for some of the Kelly green. As it turns out, I am very happy with the colors overall. It makes for a bright and happy quilt! I stuck with her pattern for the main part of the quilt. After all the clues were in and the top was pieced, I decided to change the inner border to make the white peaks enter into the border, completing the illusion of half circles. This scrappy quilt made of a combination of batiks and regular quilt fabric collected over the years contains over 3000 pieces! The batting is 100% Wool. I started it in November of 2013 and had the top finished by February of 2014. Quilted by Mike Schroeder of Rock Reef Quilting"

On the label, I notated how many of each unit are in the quilt.
