doodlebug Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 i was wondering if anyone had an feed back to share about how judges feel about quilts in shows that have been washed? i know that wholecloths are expected to be washed, but what about others. im working on one that is 80% mctavished and it always looks better after a wash..

Ferret Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I've entered washed quilts and I haven't had any comments about it. Do bear in mind though that UK judges may be more lenient. Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethDurand Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I've only entered one quilt in a show, but I always wash my quilts first. Why wouldn't you? Why would it make a difference? I'm looking forward to hearing from the experts out there about this question. Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diane@bcq Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Some years ago I heard a story of the quilt winning the big prize at Paducah was one that had been washed several times at that the ladies cat actually thrown up on the quilt. Now that may not be true but I do know that when I entered a quilt last summer in QOTW it was washes and then it was blocked. I did get a good comment about how nicely the quilt laid. I would not have gotten that comment without the washing and blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
