yes... I definitely understand that! As a retired science teacher, I saw (on more than one occasion) a science fair project that barely won a spot in the regional fair only to take high honors at the next level. Even though judges try to be objective, it must be humanly impossible. Well, we ARE human...

Thank you for your response to this question.. I figured there were some universal qualities on which most judges agree.

You have to remember each judge is only offering thier own oppinions. you can have 1 specific quilt looked at by 5 different judges and each one will say something different.
