Can honestly say I haven't done this the same way twice. First, I don't bring the same quilts. Choosing which quilts is always a huge deal for me so it would be easier if I just picked a dozen and always used those but what fun would that be?! Besides, sometimes that quilt may be up on the wall and that is where I draw the line...not climbing up on ladders and removing quilts from display to bring along. It isn't like I don't have others that fit the same time period...I've always had the "Noah's Ark" approach to collecting (I wan't to have two of each type) so this works for me!
The second reason is I ask the guild members to bring quilts that we fit into the "timeline." Sometimes there are only 6-10 and once there were over 50! Definitely keeps me on my toes! (Have to admit to being a bit brain-dead after the 50 quilt day...quilt speed dating!)

I, too, would love to hear and see your presentation. Love quilt history!
That Irish Chain quilt is so wonderful. Do you worry about the wear and tear on the quilts with all of the travel and display stress on them or are the ones you take along pretty sturdy?
Hope it goes well for you. Have a great time with Bonnie :-)
