When you take a quilt.... part 2

Workmanship? Very nearly.

Design quality? No, though I can see improvement.

Honestly, I don't care. I know I could do better if I fussed more. But I'm doing it for the joy of doing it, and to hell with anyone's judgement of it, except my own. The only time I care what anyone else thinks is if it is for someone else. Then I'll fuss more, and sacrifice my own taste for their preferences (but only as far as I can stand it).

If the project is up on the wall I will compare, but I can see how much I have progressed. I must have something to aspire to. I strive to perfect the technique not necessarily have a perfect quilt.

No. I did see a few entries by some ten year-olds at the New Orleans show that I could whip. Polly

Never gave it a thought, Ron! Honestly, quilts are like comparing apples and oranges. One of the most interesting things *is* this difference. I'm sure the LQS find it fascinating to see how different each person's quilts are, even if a similar pattern was used. Just as an example: look how different the various YBR pattern quilts, which our friends here have shown us, are. Quilts are all so different, and the demands of each are so different. I think they can only be judged like they do in dog shows - look at the quilt and see how it compares with the 'standard' of the techniques it uses. That being said: I could never do that, and I just look at the overall beauty. I'm sure the LQS do that too. They might have someone checking behind a mirror or from a CCTV camera just to make sure you have got all your points matching etc, but I seriously doubt it >g< . In article , rjwhite6 writes

No, but I'm working on it! Haven't had much time recently!
