I have done a number of auction quilts for my daughter's school in years past. They raised quite a bit of money (over $1000 each some years) for the PTA which funded a lot of school events/supplies/etc. Last year, I missed doing this and volunteered to make a quilt for my god-daughter's class. That raised about $600 and the kids were thrilled with the fun we had (as was I). It was such fun that I was again asked to make a quilt for the new class. I'll be going into the class room in just over a week and am so excited.
