Your quilt is beautiful. I can relate to your frustration. A year ago I entered two quilts in the county fair. Both quilts had positive comments, and received 100 points in the comment area. I received a sweapstakes on one and blue ribbon on the area. I have no idea how they were judged and the difference in the two. I didn't enter this year.

I am slightly upset that my Honorable Mention never got placed on my quilt. Not the end of the world but if you earned a ribbon it would be nice for the spectators to see that (it's about showing off a little, right? ;) ). But just as you learn which restaurants are good to eat at and not by going to them, you learn which shows are worth showing at by entering them.

I hope you continue to enter this show, so that I can see your work again :)
I have to agree with you, I couldn't figure out categories or why some of the quilts got ribbons. Hard to understand if you can't compare....

I think the star quilt that was hanging up on the banister above the main display area was one that was in my category. It was a single person entry and all pieced. It was very nice though I wish it was hung down lower so I could have seen the quilting closer. I think it had a second place ribbon on it and the Best Piecing ribbon. That was the only quilt I was fairly sure was in my category. Really there was very few individual entries so you think it would have been easy to find others in my category. I'm wondering if they combined categories for the Individual sections, like Mixed combined with Pieced?
