The standard of quilts must have been very high if yours did not win a prize. I love your quilt. Purple is a colour that I am finding myself more drawn to as time goes by. Where did you get the pattern. - great pattern.

Some quilt shows are popularity contests. If you have a lot of friends invite them to vote for you. Yes people do that. One quilt in our show last year was terribly pieced, most of the quilting didn't go through the batting and backing, and the binding was crooked! Well her church friends were there and voted for her and quess what she won a blue ribbon and someone who has been quilting for 40 yrs and sells her quilts at keepsake quilting got zippo. This year I will not enter anything in the quilt show after last years fiasco.

It's an old standard called Spider Web. You make a strata out of strips of fabric, cut wedges, sew eight to make a block, and then add the corners. On mine, all the corners and binding are the same purple.
