2015 ASQG quilt show ~ Judged quilts

Center of Amaretto Cottage by Janie and Jo

 Amaretto Cottage

I am so happy for Janie, that her quilt won a 1st place ribbon in it's category! We worked on it together for over a year. Janie asked for my help, however I learned just as much as she did thru the entire process from the first cut to the judging.  Thank you Janie!

Entering a quilt to be judged is a rewarding experience, even at guild show level. Jody Ohrt was this year's Judge. Jody has judged many competitions including Pacific International Quilt Festival. "The purpose of having a quilt judged is to provide the quilter with feedback on the strengths of the quilt in terms of the quilt's overall appearance, workmanship and design. A written evaluation is a learning experience. The judge reinforces a quilter's expertise by commenting on skills that are well accomplished. The judge also gives the quilter comments on areas that may need more practice."
