Congratulations, Jenn. The heart quilt is spectacular and yet looks so cozy. The cathedral windows with your addition of buttons and the light lace trim is glorious as well. No wonder you walked away with blue ribbons. I like what you did with the feathers on the dove.

You did great!! I'm surprised the one of the dove didn't take a ribbon. It's gorgeous!! They probably did not like that it was not more densely quilted. I've had that happen and most of the time I did not want more quilting. I felt as long as I met the batting's specification It should be my choice.

You can't see it because the background is black. I echo quilted 1/8" apart around the dove and the vines. The border is densely quilted too, but you can't see that either. I'm sure the judges could see it. I'm looking forward to reading the judges comments.

All are very nice! I really like the designs on each and they are so different. The first one's quilting is amazing! The cathedral windows is flawless and the lace trim is a nice touch. Love the Dove is one of my favorite patterns - I have been telling myself it's a "must do" as soon as I get caught up. Tweet is adorable also - the orange binding and yellow flange really sets it off. I love all of them. Congrats!
