Quilts first, then vendors for the same reason, I don't want to carry stuff around all day. Houston was a different story because they have more vendors than quilts, LOL!! So you had to carry and there was no way to buzz through and go back, there are just too many to do in even the three days I was there one year. Take an empty backpack if you think you will shop a lot. Wheeled carts aren't allowed at most shows now.
