I donated a Moda Bakeshop Scruffily quilt done in BLUSH for an auction. I think it went for $65 and a friend bought it. I think she felt sorry for me that it was not going for more. I had to just change my attitude and know that I was donating it all from my heart to a good cause. It was a bit of a consolation that NOTHING was getting high bids that night.

I think I'll find out tomorrow what the final bid was, but I doubt it was more than $35. Gulp.

People just don't understand what goes into making a quilt!!

It's such a beautiful quilt! I can't believe they would even start it at $5! That ridiculous! I'm all for charity and donating etc. but all that hard work and like you said the materials! They should have started the bidding at least at $30. (I even think that is low, but it's a start!) I'm sorry...I hope it goes up! Good luck! let us know what it finally went for if you find out.
