You’re looking at the back of my entry for this year’s Utah
State Fair Quilt Challenge. I’m not ready to show you the front just yet, but I’m
rather proud of the quilting, which can only be seen from the back. This will
be the sixteenth quilt I’ve submitted to this competition in seventeen years. (There
were no ribbon events in 2020. There was almost no state fair that year at
all.) Every year, I read the judges’ comments, curious to see where I might
improve in the coming year. The one thing the judges all seem to agree on is
that I could have put more effort into the quilting. I’m always afraid to do
that, because I don’t want the quilting to overshadow the piecing. This year, I
threw caution to the winds and really went to town. If the judges still
complain that there isn’t enough quilting, I’ll know they’ve been kidding me
all along.
