You made me look at the ribbons better. They have the name of our guild, which place won, and a picture of sewing supplies in the center. I know my sister spent a lot of time selecting the ribbons. She did a good job as chairman of the quilt show. I don't actually plan on entering again. But then, I hadn't planned on entering this one.

That is just gorgeous! I love the dots in that first caramel color fabric. Contrasts & pulls in the lighter color section at the same time. Great eye picking that one. I would have "excluded" it at selection. It pops!
