I think it was so awesome! How was the auction run? We just got back from our schools auction a couple of hours ago! No quilts this year. I have made two for past auctions. I won one for $400 (cost $200 to make, but it was class money, not mine) which I thought was really low. But I was still happy since I was able to get it back! The other one I wanted more, but didn't win. It was handprints, too, but we used fabric paint and made the hands be petals on flowers. It turned out cute. The winner let me pet it the other day! LOL! And yes, it does seem like the younger grades projects go for more.
I forgot to say I am going to be doing a hand applique quilt of all my dh's side of the family. His parents had their 50th this past summer and I traced everyone's hands. I am still thinking of how to lay it all out.
