Another way you could turn this around - when you donate the quilt - you could write a little about the quilt and the process then add a retail price so people know that it is valuable if they purchased it directly. Everyone loves a bargain but if they get a $200 quilt for 150 then they still get a bargain and a quilt worth $200. Otherwise, quilts may not be the correct item for that audience - its like my college professors would say - when you give a presentation - make sure you know your audience - I think its the same in this case
