Beautiful quilt Missy!!!!!!!!
Every auction I have been at, they will start at one price, and will keep lowering the starting bid price until they have an entry bid. From that point the bidding goes up. Many bidders will wait for the drop, they don't want to start at the higher price. Ebay is different, you have a start price and people either bid or not.
You could always have them put a reserve price on the quilt so it doesn't go to low. But generally people will bid higher than normal for a good cause.
Anyway, it is a beautifu quilt. I think the Log Cabin is my favorite pattern.
Thank you Carol for explaining that to me. It helps me understand the process better.
Thank you for the sweet comment about the quilt. I too love the Log Cabin. I am getting ready to make another quilt about that same size but it will be the Radiant Star or the Lone Star or as the Lakota say here in South Dakota the Star quilt.
I am looking forward to making that one!

I tried a Lone Star years ago, but I never finished it. When I went back, I ran out of one of the fabrics. The original was no longer manufactored so I bought a similar hue. But it bugged me to not have them match so it sits in the closet unfinished.
