Not really (the get over it part). I think a lesson learned. Next time tell them that the people who attend their fundraisers don't appreciate handmade/USA made, and give them $20 or $10. Or better yet, make some cookies. Probably chocolate chip cookies or something like that brought in more. :) Doesn't make sense to me, but it works that way, sometimes.
I think you SHOULD NOT donate any more quilts to this group for a fundraiser if this is only how much they will bring. It isn't fulfilling the purpose for which it is designed. It's not being stingy or anything--it is merely evaluating and working from there. That is what should be done--either donate cold cash or find something people will pay more for.
