You truly did deserve your ribbon!

Actually, I can't take the credit for the design or the fabric choices as a member of the board had made a wall hanging from the same line and it was so pretty and the colors matched my colors so well that I borrowed her design. I don't think she used the borders on the panel so the lap throw using the panel borders was my design.

Very nice quilt. Congrats on the ribbon! Until last year I hadn't attended a county or state fair in over 20 years. I have to say I was sooooo disappointed that they only show a "sliver" of each quilt! I see the same is true with your fair. How on earth can the viewer truly appreciate the full beauty of the quilt like that? Yours is a perfect example...it is gorgeous when you see it fully. I get that space is an issue, but I would rather see fewer quilts. It ruined it for me and what I thought was gonna take me at least an hour to see and enjoy took me about 10 minutes because I just left after seeing how they were displayed. Does anyone know if ALL fairs do it this way now?
