This past weekend was our local quilt show titles: "Q" is For Quilts. This was the first show I've participated in since joining the guild. It was a lot of work, but a great experience. There were nine categories of quilts and judging was done by those attending the show.
In any case, this quilt won Best of Show and clearly deserved the honor with any kind of voting:
Here are a few others:
I entered several quilts in a variety of categories and was very excited to come home with a red (second place) ribbon in the First Time Entry category for this one:
One more - the write up on this next quilt said that the maker bought the unfinished top in a thrift store. When she brought it home her husband declared it, "The ugliest top ever." But, she felt like every quilt deserved a home so she finished it and displayed the result. She said that her husband still thinks it's an ugly quilt.
The title: "Ugly, Homely Quilts Need Love, Too."

We'll done, you! Hoorah for wining 2nd place ... I would have voted you first (but then I'm biased!) Being a cat lover and having family in MD, I think those quilts are pretty special too :)
