Finally did it-I entered my Double Wedding Ring quilt into a quilt show. Technically not a 'judging' show, most of the quilts in this show were top notch.
The show was held Friday March 22nd and Saturday March 23rd. I went down on Saturday to see my quilt on display for hundreds of admirers to see. You can only imagine the gratification I felt standing several feet away fidgeting with my camera when I heard a woman admiring my work say, "This quilt is gorgeous".
Moments later as I kept touring the show, I came across the Oregon Quilt Project table. I inquired about quilt documentation and mentioned my quilt was in the show. One of the hosts asked me which quilt was mine, and after describing it, she knew exactly which one it was. There were only two wedding ring quilts in the show, so it's not a wonder she recalled which was mine.
There were over 100 quilts in this show, and so many were beautiful. This one was super 'scrappy', and I have a fondness for this type.
Another challenging pattern I will attempt to tackle in my lifetime is the Lone Star. I think this one would be more challenging then the Double Wedding Ring.
Now that I have my first show down, I hope to continue making textile works of art for more shows!
