OMG!!! The Centennial Quilt has been juried into the AQS Paducah show next month! I am on cloud nine! I have never had a quilt in ANY show before, but, improbably, having a quilt hang at Paducah was a "bucket list" item for me. I love this quilt for so many reasons, but this is the frosting on the cake!

Ladies, thank you so much for your sage advice as I was shepherding this process along. It gave me the confidence to keep plugging along when things got perplexing. You all are the best!

gynconnie OFFLINE Posts: 730 Thank you received: 27	It worked! The combination of machine and hand quilting was perfect for this project. Machine quilting in the ditch for the sashing allowed me to tackle that phase by myself with reasonable efficiency. Hand quilting in the blocks with ladies (and a few gents!) from church was a real joy. I understand now why our foremothers loved quilting bees!
