Fair quilt judging. No fair at all.

That's how judging is done in car shows. You get points for different facets of the vehicle. Paint, interior, engine compartment. The car with the most points wins. That's why I was wondering if they had judge's sheets at quilt shows. They can be very helpful to read.

This has nothing to do with people needing others to be shown inferior to themselves in order to feel affirmed, which is really an odious, insulting idea, and was therefore bound to raise hackles. If you genuinely desire to have a conversation, it would probably be best not to start out by insulting the group of people you wish to converse with.

At a quilt retreat a couple years ago, one woman did no sewing, just bragging! She brought in a beautiful quilt that had won Best of Show. She admitted she did not choose the fabric, cut, piece or bind it. Then she had someone else quilt it. When we asked how she could be the winner she replied with a big smile......"Because I paid for everything!" UNFAIR

I can only think of a couple classes that are done based on merit.
Those quilts go to a charity. Meanwhile the entrants receive a 1st, 2nd or 3rd merit ribbon (all can get the same) plus all receive a batting. Not sure whether the entrants also receive prize $ based on their ribbons, or not.

My Grandson says they give out awards at school events to everyone. He says they don't even have to do anything just show up and have a pulse. When he gets home he just toss the award in a box, because to him is doesn't mean anything any more. He would prefer to earn his "medal" so it had some meaning and pride attached to it.
