Bad colour, bad composed, quilting not to talk about, teknique bad, aesthetic also bad. All over bad.
The judgement was not even signed, and it was written on a blank dokument.
I´m happy for all your positive comments, so it was not "that down". Now I say with Bob Dylan:
"Some people can be wrong sometimes - I think Abraham Lincoln said that - But all people can´t be wrong all the time - I said that".
:D :D :D

If anyone of you would like to see the winners:

Clik "konkurense", and then, 09.

Jette, I don't understand this. Your quilt is fabulous! And I adore the colors. I really admire you for being able to make a picture into a paper piecing pattern.

I also love your birds on your website. You are obviously AWESOME!

welcome, and wow, that's paper piecing? I thought it had to have all straight lines. I don't know that technique, but it sure looks good! :D

What a work of art! I do paper piecing and can't imagine doing this. It really is a treasure!
Do you have any of your other quilts posted?
