    1. Wow – great list! I would like to attend a big quilt show. I’m thinking of AQS Quilt Week in either Grand Rapids or Paducah, or the International Quilt Festival in Houston. How do these 3 compare, in terms of number of quilts on display, number of attendees, etc. Thank you!

      • All great shows Nancy! I can tell you that Festival in Houston is generally the largest quilt show in the US. That said, Paducah and Houston are very comparable in the variety of quilts, attendees and vendors. They come from all over the world to attend and participate in these shows. Also, in Paducah, there are several fabulous quilt shops and a quilt museum in town. So there are a ton of things to do including the quilt show.
        Grand Rapids is also a fabulous show but if I were to choose between the 3 you asked about, I would go to either Paducah or Festival in Houston. 😀
