I have seen nice quilt show awards done by making a small quilt block
(think coaster size) and then adding two wide ribbons coming off the
bottom (sew them onto the back). I think a star quilt block looks
especially nice for this. Depending on how you add the ribbons the block
can be straight or 'on point'.
Hope this makes sense!

Oh, that sounds a whole lot easier to make! And we *know* how Pigma pens
behave on cotton!
Dragonfly (Pam) - who will try to remember this idea if she ever needs to
make a ribbon.

Thanks all for the great ideas... and the links. I am SO a visual
learner... so those websites are really helpful.
When (if???) I get something done -- I'll be sure to post back!

W-a-i-t ! Viewer's Choice is the most wonderful honor of all. We'll
want just a little tacky glitz. ( 'Bling' if you must.) Please add a few
sequins or bugle beads. The ribbon just has to have some 'ta-dah'. IMHO,
of course. Polly

Kate: Just back from Florida, and I noticed your message just as I was going
to click 'all read' function. So, I am coming late to the conversation, but
this suggestion may help you. For a challenge my guild did a few years ago,
a member made **gorgeous** ruched flowers for the rosette part. Another
member embroidered the title (Viewers Choice, Etc.) on fabric streamers for
the rosette. You may have guild members who can supply talent to make the
ribbons. HTH.
Pat, back in lovely Virginia
