For some, the Minnesota State Fair is all about competition. Every weekday during the fair, All Things Considered is asking: "What are they judging?"
Read or listen to the judge describing what they look for in a winner, and then try and guess what it is. Click on the picture to the right to reveal what they're judging.
What today's judge is looking for:
- Fun,bright colors
- Pieced together well and spaces filled
- Points all match with no thread clumps
- Good contrast in colors
- Good bindings and edging
