Thank you so much for taking and sharing so many wonderful pics Showbiz! The talent out there is mind boggling. Many of those quilts I have seen before as they have been traveling the show circuit for several years, like Margaret Solomen Gunn's quilt "Twisted Sister". Someday I will get to Paducah for quiltweek. Is the fall BOS still a viewers choice or did they go back to strictly judged? I recall being a bit put off by many major quilters in the final competition asking for votes on social media, their blogs and websites so in my mind it turned into a popularity contest rather than judging the quilt on its merits. Even though people were choosing from a selection the judges had made. For an award as major as the BOS at Paducah, carrying a prize purse of $10K to turn it into a "Vote for me" blitz on the internet just seemed to trivialize it in my mind.
