Have been back to the FOQ today mainly to collect my quilt and the Shipton Quilters Group quilt.
I have been sitting here reading the judges comments and it is funny how three people have differing opinions about a quilt.
I guess even if their is a formula it's never going to come out the same.
So this is how it goes for the group quilt.
Fulfils Catergory/ Theme rules. 2 Excellent 1 Good Satisfactory
Visual Impact / Emotional Response. 1 " 2 "
Originality /Content. 1 " 2 "
Design, Composition,Colour. 2 " 1 "
Choice & Suitability of Material 2 " 1 "
Surface Design & Embellishment
Not Applicable 2 n/a. 1 " don't understand 2 think its not applicable
Piecing construction /accuracy 2 1 "
Applique design & execution
Not Applicable. 3 they all agree that their was none
Quilting Design & Execution. 2 ex. 1
Edge Treatment, hangs well. 3
So the only thing they all agreed about was that edge treatment and hangs well and their was no appliqué on it.
Three judges and three differing opinions. I'm baffled but hey I often am. What does one person see that another doesn't?
You deserve some photos after this little post.
Very innovative and well deserved Group Quilt win.
What a beautiful winning miniature.
This one actually won best in show too.
Beautifully quilted by Sandie Chandler
Hunters Star by Helen Brookham and quilted by Sandie Chandler.
I meet up Virgina today and here she is with her lovely quilt full of reproduction fabrics.
Will be back soon with a few more photo.
