But, hey, if that's their biggest criticism, then you done good!

It's only natural. The whole judging thing is a little weird, but unless someone points it out, how is one to improve, so I can see the value of that. Thanks for sharing the other quilts too. The quilting on His Light Reflected is breathtaking.Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181665241824945247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-23470814866378957362012-05-20T18:54:41.627-06:002012-05-20T18:54:41.627-06:00These quilts are mind-bogglingly beautiful and ama...These quilts are mind-bogglingly beautiful and amazing!! I'm so glad you posted the rainbow quilt, because it brightens my world just to know that such beautiful artwork exists. <br /><br />Congrats on all of the positive feedback on your quilt! I'm glad you were able to take your "needs improvement" suggestions in stride; you'll be even more awesome next time.

I have served as helper for some of the judgings at the Tennessee State Fair and was surprised at my first event to see how much attention the judge gave to the binding on each quilt. I learned from that experience and always use a 2-1/4" binding strip now too. I also sew it on at slightly more than 1/4", narrowing it down to 1/4" at the corners (to reduce the dogear look from too much bulk there). It has worked well for me so far :*)Teresa in Music Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650995129191593324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-85186378283528832702012-05-20T08:51:25.960-06:002012-05-20T08:51:25.960-06:00Those quilts are gorgeous!

I've had friends get quilts back from shows, and the judges don't make even 1 comment on it, so they are left wondering what was good or needed improvement. And it has kept 2 of them from entering again! This is a total positive experience in my book! And so nice to know what they liked, too!reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822110311373036914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-42253942472853905032012-05-20T07:47:08.342-06:002012-05-20T07:47:08.342-06:00You will be surprised what a difference 2-1/4"...You will be surprised what a difference 2-1/4" binding makes. You may also want to experiment with your triming. Do you trim before or after you add the binding? After seems to give a better fill because you can tell exactly where and if you might need to adjust. <br /><br />I am glad the judges recognized your lovely use of color. That is what attracted me to your quilt.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16967242215534982128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-26992956282587900262012-05-20T02:36:23.301-06:002012-05-20T02:36:23.301-06:00Well done on your quilt.

I have collected LOTS of photos of them to give me inspiration on doing my own, and have been collecting lots of fabrics in batiks to make mine. I love this one. WOW!
