What I do think would be a good idea is some sort of sensor on the quilts in shows so that they can not leave the building without authorization.[/quote]
I remember those clip on sensors at clothing stores, that had to be removed at the check stand, and think this practice would help keep quilts from getting "lost". I was going to put one of my quilts in a show, until I was asked to sign a 'waiver of responsibility' for the group holding the quilt show. If they can not be responsible for my quilt, I can't let them show it. IMHO.
