Wow - that's a shame. Not only for you, but for the fair-goers who didn't get to see it. Fabulous job - I love those colors together as well as the prairie points.
The organizers should also realize that seeing lovely things like your quilt might be what encourages somebody else to give things a try. If they aren't careful, nobody will be entering!

I feel your pain and all the other quilters whose quilts were not properly displayed for ALL to see. Your quilt is fantastic and I'm so PROUD of your DH defending your honor!!! Most husbands don't have a clue all the hard work we put in our creations, but yours does, LUCKY YOU!!! I would definitely put my complaints in WRITING for all to see to the newspaper and the Committee in charge of the quilts at the fair. You may be able to get this UNFAIR practice stopped!!

That makes no sense whatsoever. There has to be a way for at least enough of each quilt to be shown that the viewers can get a good idea of what it looks like.
You should do something -- I like the suggestion of contacting a local newspaper -- and have some friends do the same so it doesn't look like you're only complaining because you didn't win a ribbon.
How big is it?
Your quilt is lovely. I love prairie points but always turn mine "out". I think I'll do it your way next time.

What an adorable quilt. The prairie points really set it off and with the material make it unique. A terrible shame that it couldn't be seen and appreciated by everyone. Have some of the outer sash material and have inset it before my sash and the different color really pops the quilt. Love your bug fabric, couldn't find any out here when making my Lady Bug quilt. Great job on your wonderful quilt, we appreciate it.

That's awful! I think all quilts should be displayed at the fair and if they don't have the room either make it or limit the number of entries. I am so glad you have a great husband who advocates for you!
