You can see the show in one really long hard day if you must. I have gone on Saturday a couple of years and typically start with the quilt displays and then start in on the vendors. If I keep going except for a brief stop for lunch, I can see most of the main show. Feet are screaming at the end of the day but it is worth it. But you'll miss the classes, the shows, and the shopping around town which is amazing. Hancocks is definitely worth the stop. They have a back room where they sell fabric at significant discount during the show.
