Same thing happened to my daughter - she even told them a minimum bid of $80 (which is what she had into the quilt) and they still sold it for less than the minimum - it seems as though some people just don't appreciate handmade quilts - I have a cousin who tells me she can get a beautiful quilt at K-mart - so go for it! I won't be making quilts for someone who doesn't appreciate it - same as sewing for people who don't appreciate it!!
