the room in which they hung was a drill hall, where troops practiced drilling maneuvers, so you know it was BIG. still, there was no way it could have held all these quilts hung the traditional way. looking up at them all, people kept bumping into one another and getting dizzy, but no one stopped. wherever you looked there was something lovely to see that you missed on the first go-round. i wish you all could see it. maybe it will tour and you'll all have the chance. she's willing to let it travel, it's a matter of setting the venues, according to the white-glove ladies.
it's also very costly to set up and i don't know if it would be free elsewhere.
looking at the photos, i see that it looks like no one was there, but in fact there were loads of people floating around.
