Your quilt is SOOOO cute! :thumbup:
I had a similar thing happen with the first quilt I entered into the L.A. County Fair. Mine was folded up at the bottom of a display case with someone's string of "Calistoga Wagon" mini lights on top of it! (At least they weren't plugged in!) When I questioned the way the quilts were displayed, I was told that interior design students & a professional designer were in charge of all the displays.
BUT...the next year, they did actually start hanging most of the quilts just like a 'real' quilt show, so our complaints & comments were heard!
