What I think: the rules of each show will vary, so some
may permit kit quilts, others not. If you prefer
another set of rules, volunteer for the next show
committee. Of course the rest of the committee may out
vote your suggestions, but at least you would have
tried. (BTDT!!) If a committee is required to hang
those quilts, perhaps that should be a separate
committee. You are not rude, nor snitty ... unless
you've blabbed it all over the show and guild, which of
course I doubt. I'd have your reaction too!!

I was admiring the gorgeous quilt that won the top prizes at this
year's local guild quilt show a few weeks back today. It was made by
one of the owners of the LQS here. I opined that picking the fabrics
must have been really a hoot when she said that she hadn't picked any,
it was a kit.

OK, I understand somebody entering a kitted quilt if they are just
getting started, but ...... this struck me as just a bit unethical.
The show is viewer's choice and the quilt is stunning. It's paper
pieced and the design just seems to glow. But she didn't really make
those fabric choices.

What do you folks think? Am I just being rude and snitty, as my DH
suggests?
