And even if you do get in, what wins is nearly always a head-scratcher for me: why did this one get elevated? I've often thought that some famous quilters had quilts in there that really didn't belong, due to design issues or construction issues. So now I don't even try--I just go and enjoy the show. Often I've found that the best quilts at quilt shows (the ones I'll make) are in manufacturer's booths, so now I pay closer attention to those as well.OPQuilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622702911207665333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516557859503396142.post-7085898742149738962017-07-02T20:17:17.696+12:002017-07-02T20:17:17.696+12:00Yes!

And definitely try matching your style to the style of the show - as you say about QuiltCon, you don't know what they are looking for so are not going to enter until you've figured it out - there is no point entering a traditional quilt to an art quilt show or a super modern quilt to a traditionally focused show. <br />Charlotte Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11696100659597422648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516557859503396142.post-68376729072131763722017-07-01T09:24:53.462+12:002017-07-01T09:24:53.462+12:00Thank you for this post.

I did just enter an online Pantone quilt challenge but totally biffed it by doing a traditional hand-quilted piece while all others went uber modern. I'm at least ready for that one next year!Tami Von Zalezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11065017061040785838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516557859503396142.post-37483962143962576322017-07-01T02:59:57.294+12:002017-07-01T02:59:57.294+12:00The only other thing I would add, if your quilt is...The only other thing I would add, if your quilt is accepted to a show, it may not win a ribbon. If it is a juried show, the judge usually provides comments. Put on your thickest skin and read those comments...many are areas where improvement can be made. Congratulate yourself that you did make it into the show.Rochelle aka Bella Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493294172036878044noreply@blogger.com
