I think that marketing is to blame. The University that I work for has a Silent Auction each year and 2 years in a row, I made and donated lap quilts.....same result as yours. The first year they listed it as a homemade blanket without it or a picture....and made peanuts on it.....the second year, I sent a picture with it and a blurb that it was a handmade quilt that cost $75 to make....they didn't use the picture and didn't even put the blurb on the sheet....I don't give them my quilts anymore.
