Sorry I don't remember her name, but she won at Paducah a couple of years ago and was from Australia. She posted on her website the two year process of making the quilt.
Sounds like it up to you as long as you follow the entry rules.

Thanks Lorchen. I'll have to think about this a lot. I have been using my designing and development of my show quilts on my personal blog as a kind of quilt journal and even to invite others to give me some feedback and share in the fun. Here's the link, if you're interested and haven't seen it: http://blog.bjfabricartist.com/
I think I have to reassess this. :shock:

Another one of those 'hot pototoes', Betty Jo. Personally I would keep any quilt 'under wraps' until it has gone to its first show.

I like it when I go to a quilt show (often not cheap and involving a fair amount of travelling) and then see quilts that are fresh and that I haven't seen on the internet or in magazines before.

I recently saw an interesting discussion that has led me to question my practice of freely sharing pictures in my blogs of my show quilts while I make them and when they are done BEFORE they debut in a show. I do read the rules first, and if there is nothing saying you can't I like to share pictures of my quilts along the way. The feedback is helpful to me...sometimes even helping me fix something before I enter it into a show, and sometimes just to encourage me to either finish a quilt or enter a quilt or, if need be, not enter a quilt. I don't worry about copyright on my quilts because I figure they are unique enough they would be hard to copy from a few pictures. The judges can surely recognize the leader's quilts and since the name is sort of unknown, even if the names were on the front of the quilts, it probably wouldn't make any difference to my quilt's chances. What do you think, am I wrong? Should I withhold pictures of my show quilts before their debut at a show?
