We have wooden uprights for ours. Dunster's look better.

We have one person in charge of each quilt section (large, med., small, art, antique, wearable, etc. One group of DHs set up the stands. Several people take in quilts, everyone helps with setting up and taking down. The organization well in advance helps a lot. The "desk" has a box of exam gloves for anyone who wants to examine quilts more closely. One person types all the "histories", but guild members are encouraged to email them to her, so she can cut and paste,

On take down, there is only one exit open, which is tightly controlled. All quilts are piled by the last name of the quilter during take down, so the "runners" get all the quilts delivered and carefully checked out within about half an hour.

If there are to be judging and viewers' choice, make sure the standards are very clear.

Advance organization makes all the difference in a happy, successful show.
