I wonder how amenable the cheerleaders would be to sitting in on an afternoon or two of making their own quilt/s for their next auction, silent or otherwise. My Acteens (a teenaged girls group at church) are making a "matching game" quilt to auction for the Baptist Children's Home down south, and it has been quite the eye opener for them.
