But if this is it I'm going to wish I had cancelled the Feather Star instead I think. Oh well.

This design is by Chloe Anderson of Toadusew Creative Concepts (toadusew.com). She is really nice - she featured Yvonne on the toadusew blog when Yvonne was making hers, and had a lot of compliments about mine when I sent her the pics.
I am so jealous that you get to go to the festival! One of these years I am going to take a single vacation and go to Pennsylvannia and maybe get some workshops in. Needless to say, the hubby and kids don't think that would be a fun holiday!!!!

If it doesn't take 1st place the whole thing is fixed. Awesome job. Just my opinion. I have been to a lot of quilt shows and I have not agreed with a lot of the ideas.

Yeah it seems they want perfection but if you don't have a long arm machine, its pretty hard to maintain the tension on the piece in order to keep lines straight, make sure there are no puckers (even with a walking foot, it is still a problem) and quilt it as a whole unit (I did mine in 2 pieces so I had to seam the back). I think frankly it will get a 3rd at the fair but I really want people to see it and hopefully be inspired to keep the craft alive. However it does will be up to the judges - everyone on this forum gave me tons of postiive feedback and suggestions which means a lot more to me than the judges' opinions!
