"biggie" quilt shows...do you enter?

You are right Cindy. I think some quilters just need to get a little more
courage and send in an entry. I imagine the way the slide photos are taken
are a big part of whether and entry is accepted. There were several quilts
that my friend and I said, "it must have looked really good in the slide!".
Wouldn't a great guild challenge be to pick a specific quilt show, then have
members send in an entry for their best quilt?? That might take away some
of the mystery of entering, most would probably be rejected...but you would
be in the company of your fellow guild members... and you may get a couple
members' quilts in the show!!

There were quilts at Paducah that weren't any better than a lot of the
quilts I've seen at RCTQ meetups/show n tells. I think a lot of quilters
just assume that they can't get in and even if they could, they'd look bad
next to the competition. I don't think that's true, though. It is rather
intimidating, though, isn't it?

It seems to me that Paducah is one of the biggie quilt show

Does anyone here enter their quilt? And get selected or not?
Does a chosen quilt have to be absolutely perfect to be picked for the
show?
(in construction and quilting)?

I presume the competiton is fierce for getting a quilt selected.
