My heart breaks when I read the disappointment from people whose work is not accepted. Judging must be an extremely difficult job!!

That said, the first time I entered a quilt, it got in. The second and third times, none of my quilts made the cut. Honestly, the quilts had more going for them and were better made, but that's just how things go. Try not to be too disappointed if it doesn't get in. Tt's beautiful, unique, and creative; the colors definitely play well together; and the quilting looks perfect. Good luck!Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-61879115669994800442016-12-04T13:00:22.385-05:002016-12-04T13:00:22.385-05:00This is wonderful Michelle!

I like it!<br />I am not sure which I am more surprised by: that you have only been quilting for three years or that you have never been to a show. Many people start after seeing something in a craft show.<br />I have only had stuff 'on display' at a show and it was never judged, and my local guild accepts all entries. They like to show diversity and a range of skills.Granny Maud's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14526026491886013457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-65082722989414571602016-12-03T20:25:55.974-05:002016-12-03T20:25:55.974-05:00I am no quilt con judge, but I would grab this one...I am no quilt con judge, but I would grab this one up as the perfect example of modern, unique, creative, smart and lovely 9-Patch.<br />Good luck!QuilterinMotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08624854595176562054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-26059174453739450662016-12-03T02:08:38.605-05:002016-12-03T02:08:38.605-05:00Oh I love it, it's a really clever interpretat...Oh I love it, it's a really clever interpretation of a nice patch - and it reminds me of those cracker toy puzzles we used to get as kids where you had to make all the pieces form a cube!

I've had quilts in my local guild shows, but I entered my first piece into a juried quilt show for this Quilt Con (also a 9-patch challenge quilt as well as a second, smaller piece). I'm excited to see what assortment of quilts are selected for the challenge, and for the entire show. The thing about making selections for a show is not just choosing the best, but choosing a good assortment. I hate this waiting part, though! I hope we can meet in Savannah. :-)Sarah Goer Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11403553535466456302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-61566402885652875392016-12-02T21:23:07.052-05:002016-12-02T21:23:07.052-05:00This is a genius interpretation of a nine patch.
