Dramatic presentation
Smooth color gradations
Piecing is well done.
More control needed for machine quilting for smooth curves and remaining in ditch.
Binding is generally good.
Good and fair comments. I didn't get to go to Columbus to see the show, but I did have a TQS (The Quilt Show) friend take a picture and put it in her TQS blog.
I don't know why the bottom is waving. I blocked it, so I know it was square.
This is what was included with my quilt! An entrant's ribbon, a copy of the show book, and a label that I can put on the back of Circle of Life that says:
Exhibited at
The 42nd Annual Quilt Show
The National Quilting Association, Inc.
June 16-18, 2011
Columbus, OH
The next stop for Circle of Life is Danville, IL for entry into the Vermilion County museum quilt show! This is a great show, that hangs the entire month of July! Danville has a strong Lincoln history, so if you are a Lincoln buff, it is doubly worth the trip!
I've been to that show before. My FIL just moved from there last October, so it may well be that I won't get to another show in Columbus, Ohio. It was a great show. I have pictures from that year (2009)showing many of the great quilts. From your picture your quilt sure looked like a ribbon candidate.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful quilt Maggie. I'm stunned it had no ribbon. Next time!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful quilt, well deserving of a ribbon. As for the wavy bottom, I think that it happens because of the way that they are hung, nothing to do with your workmanship.
ReplyDeleteIt sure looked like a winner to me! Beautiful work.
