I was at my neurology appointment the other day, and was lucky enough to catch the Sutter Quilt Auction. (

Well, after my appointment, I toured the 5 floors of over 400 quilts. The on that I wished I could have most though was the Amish Quilt. It was donated by a woman who's mother had passed away and this was her quilt. She had bought it from the Amish just a couple years ago. It was more beautiful than I can even explain. Well, WE all know that this quilt cost a LOT of money, and WOULD cost us a lot of money. At the auction they had listed a Fair Market Value (you might want to take a seat here) for $900!!! AND (seriously, if you're not sitting, now's the time) the highest bid so far is $400! OOOOOOOOMMMMMMMGGGGG I was DYING!!!! And non quilters were walking by saying "$400!? Woah! That's a lot of money for a quilt." <sigh> If ONLY I had the money I'd scoop that beauty up in a hot second!
The first two are pictures I took, the last one is from the website.
