we run our show every other yesr rsther then every year. Ia amazing how many non-quilters come to see. we have no cash prizes, just ribbons and bragging rights. You can start with as low as 15 quilts, but make it in a small hall and change locations to a bigger place as the show gets bigger. We do ours in a school where security is tight so we can sleep at night knowing our quilts are safe. Most quilters come to hang and take down their own quilts and the display racks are borowed from a nearby guild. Is a lot of work but a lot of fun. Don't take it alone. ask for help from everyone involved. Good luck.
