Not everyone likes big showy quilts that have been quilted to death. I am a simpler person who really loves the subtle shades of life. Not every thing needs to stand up and scream.

I'm glad to see quilts such as yours at the shows. If all that were there were extraordinary in piecing and quilting I might just give up knowing I will never be that good. At the very least it would be very depressing. So keep showing those quilts!

After 30+ years, my quilts still only go into non-judged (maybe viewer's choice only) shows. I have taught myself not to be concerned with what some arbitrary person thinks of my quilts, since I make them for the joy of doing it for myself.

I guess what I mean is, I enjoy sharing my quilts, but I don't solicit critique.

I always feel that way about my quilts and wall hangings! Not too long ago I was surfing around Google and looking at quilts and saw one I really liked. Then I said..."wait a minute....that's my quilt!!" I've learned that everyone is different, and everyone has different likes. I'll bet there were plenty of people who loved your quilt!!
