Quilt Blocking for Show




Decided to enter "Mom's Christmas Cookies"  in a show May 14 -15th  just to see how will it judges.   The show is in Memory of  Mom, so I thought this was the time to enter the quilt.   This will give me some feedback and then I can make improvements with my quilting.   It will be enter in a show this coming  September  also.
I put the quilt though a rinse cycle to remove some of the blue markings.   Used two  insulation boards  covered with a sheet, measured, and pin every two inches.  Now for the drying time (all day)....  then I will square it up and put the binding on.

So glad that you will put it in a show, how did you do with the "pleat" you can put the recipe on the back, think that would be great.
Love gramma's apron quilt also, maybe I will send you an apron!!!

nice to see how you block your quilts--I haven't done that to mine-space would be an issue for me.
I always like to enter a quilt after I 'judge it' myself to see if I'm on the same page with the judges.
Most of the time I agree with their critique and the positive remarks as well. It's definately a confidence booster/motivator.
