The 3 that were the same were made by 2 ladies from Tennessee and 1 lady from Kentucky. They named that quilt 'Our Differences Make Us One'' This quilt auctioned off for $12,500. the money went to a women and children's shelter. These quilting ladies made and donated all their quilts to many organizations. They would auction off between 8-12 quilts a year to raise money for so many wonderful causes.
