I would take back my quilts from the LA, 3 years is too long, and are you sure she still has them and that nothing has bappened to them. That happened to someone else on this board and when she contacted the LA, that person could not even find her quilt top. Call her immediately.

I agree, Holice...by the way, I really, really like your avatar!! Is that a quilt that you made? More importantly, do you have the pattern name for it -- I just LOVE it, particularly the bright colors that are used -- great job!

Our small group in a little tourist town decided to hang a show in the library, three stories, lots of banisters, balconies, blank walls and tables. Beautiful old polished wood and carvings. When everyone got their stuff hung, it was barely noticible in all that space.
I went home and brought baskets of UFOs and set up demonstration areas, stacked fabric, displayed blocks, WIPs, thread and notions. I heard more than one comment about all the strings but mostly raves for our show. Maybe it was tacky, but a real education for non-quilters.

In my opinion, I'd try to get them finished. Otherwise there will be lots of snide remarks from the peanut gallery. I usually don't criticize quilts out loud at shows because I'm there alone. But I have heard some not so complimentary comments from others. If you're the featured quilter, well, the attention to the details in your quilt will be intensified.

I think I'd check with the person who invited you, to be sure they understand what you would be displaying.
I haven't seen just quilt tops by a featured artist...all of them have been completed quilts.
