I usually look at half the quilts first, then start vendor shopping on the opposite side, where there are less crowds. I finish up with vendors and often try to get back to booths that were too crowded the first time around. I look at all the quilts eventually to appreciate the hard work. I was in Columbus one time, and was taking a picture of a small wallhanging. A lady came up to me and said "I'm so happy you took a picture of my quilt, no one else had!" I love the vendors but without the quilts it wouldn't be a show.
