Thanks for the ideas. We have an ongoing antique quilt exhibit at the county historical museum which is about 10 minutes away. They are doing a big quilt raffle. Probably raise 10K.
Yes the barn quilts would stay up for three months. There are about 10 or 15 of them on barns out in the country along the shop hop drive on private property. The instructions for the quilt block would be a great idea,
This year they put small wooden quilts in the windows of the downtown businesses which are in a cluster around an intersection of two busy highways. Problem is you cant park there and get out to get see them with so many semi's driving through so people look and drive by. The committee thought that quilters go around the block to the community parking, would park, get out, dodge the traffic and then walk up and down the four blocks in 95 degree heat. I told them that was not going to happen but it was already in motion before they asked me.
My object was to get them to stop in an easy parking area like my office which is directly on the highway, isnt open on the weekends and has 22 parking spots. There are several spots like that along the highway, like the bowling alley or the Road Ranger.
