I love to enter my quilts wherever there's a show. Amazing to get the different critiques from the judges. I've had two different quilts "not do anything" in one show and then they both got "Best of Show" at yet another (local) show. I have fun making the quilts. I have yet to make a quilt that I sleep under though - I give them all away. The people that receive them like to know where it was shown and if a ribbon is awarded, that stays with the quilt!! I never make a quilt for the purpose of "showing" it. I do the best work I can on everything I make and if its good, its good and if "not so good" - Oh well...............
