Prize-Winning Quilt

This is the Drunkard’s Path Blue Basket quilt, along with its Judging Notes

Attached to the back of the quilt was a brief explanation as to why this quilt took 34 years to get completed

The Judge’s Notes say: “We appreciate your ability to get this beautiful quilt completed. Piecing and applique techniques are well done. Binding is well done. All pencil marks should be washed out or invisible.”

In spite of the pencil marks, getting an ‘Excellent’ in all three categories wins me a First Prize! The fact that you only get 3 crafts points to make or break your entry is amazing!

On the first day of my Temari demos, I was practically sitting in front of my quilt! It was very nice to be able to point it out to passers-by. I didn’t take time to photograph it until Friday, my last day there. The fair closes this Sunday, and Monday I get to go pick up my pieces and my prize check, and get the judge’s notes to find out what they said about my quilt and my temari.
