After our show is over, the area is closed, and no one but the workers are allowed in there. All the quilts are taken down and each member's quilts are put into a pile on sheets on the floor. The owners are then escorted into the gym with a worker to pick up their pile, count their quilts and take them to check out where they are checked again. It's surprising how fast this gets done. Over an hour is allowed for you to get your quilts, but we are out of there long before the hour is up.
