Because your are new why not have a meet and greet day. Send out a ad in the local paper meet some local quilters and ask if they would be interested in letting you display their quilts,Then have a contest using the displayed quilts,let others coming into your shop vote on whos quilt they like best and offer prizes, offer different prizes for quilts and wall handings ect. the prizes do not have to be super big, just nice things for quilters. most quilters are always ready to help others and if this is going to get a new fabric shop in their area, who knows what will happen. Good Luck. Oh and by the way in my area if a quilt is entered in a contest, a paper in signed to release the shop owner from any problems that may arise.
