Don't say "you should be proud of your rejected work". Where did I say I wasn't proud of my work?
Don't say "don't give up". Where did I say I was giving up and what exactly do you mean by giving up?
How dare you make any assumptions or judgments on how I feel. It is like going to a funeral and saying they were so sick and suffering I am sure they are in a better place. How do you know they are in a better place? Do you think that is comforting to someone who just lost a loved one? Just say you are sorry and stop.
I know there were a lot of entries, but from what I have seen if you didn't make a wall hanging with solid fabrics you had no chance at all getting in. Maybe they should change the name to WallCon. Why are you permitted to submit a piece that is 480" around, but all they are going to accept is wall hangings?
I am committed to going and I plan on having a great time exploring Austin. I will be bringing my Moda Halloween quilt, carrying it around where ever I go, and show anyone who asks to see it. Feel free to join my mobile quilt exhibit.
I did get 2/3 of my flannel quilt sewn together, but I turned one 4 block by 4 block section around. I have no idea how that happened. It is not a big deal and I wasn't going to tear it apart so it is what it is. My siblings won't care and it is not being judged by the quilt police.
I need to put a label on a baby quilt I had in my stash for a fellow who just had their third child.
Here is the quilt. It is made with prints! Oh the horror!

Hey, I am standing right there with you girl!I have always felt that they used the same few elite people over and over and over again. I rarely see a modern quilt in a magazine that is NOT from this overly popular group.......just saying
Oh, and the turned around quartet must not be that glaring an error, I can't even see where it might have been.
Love your "not so solid" baby!
Love your plaid quilt more and more every time I see it. Fun, energetic "not solid" quilt, glad you posted it; it's wonderful.
Patty I'm so sorry your quilts didn't get in. But thank you for being so passionate about your feelings.
I clicked over from some of the blog posts you commented on. I think it's great that we are having this conversation. It can only make things better!
I, too, feel a little lectured to by some other bloggers. Someone just said "no" to our creative babies: we have a right to feel disappointed without being told we're overreacting or taking it too personally.
I haven't had much time to explore the blogiverse to look for the accepted few, but you can count my quilt amoung the rejected large quilts which included prints.
Good on you.. I thought about entering quilts but the postage for foreigners is extraordinary!
BRILLIANT idea about the mobile quilt show. I have often thought about a flash mob quilt show at the local mall but that would require many hands and volunteers are hard to come by. If I get to Quiltcon I will bring a quilt to carry round.
