We visited the Utah State Fair yesterday to see what the
judges thought of my entry and to take a look at the other challenge quilts. There
was a wide range of talents on display. Some of the wall hangings were the
product of experts in piecing, applique and quilting. Others were made by
children beginning to learn their art. I thought there were not as many quilts in
this year’s competition, but I was pleased to see a few men’s names among the
entries. I won’t know until the fair is over what the judges had to say about
my quilt, or even which category it was placed in. In the past I’ve had ribbons
for “Best Use of Theme,” “Best Use of Color” and “Best Use of a Traditional
Pattern.” The fabric for next year’s challenge is a tone-on-tone chevron
print in orange; my very least favorite color. I have no idea what I’ll do with it.
