Many quilters said both the charity and they themselves would have been better off just donating money.
Food for thought on this, certainly makes sense. A person could have more in it than they would ever get out of it at the price of material.. I am a scrappy quilter so I can put one together relatively low price, but even those add up don't they. From what I understand it is a silent auction, but I will have to check for sure on details. I am just glad to help in anyway. I would be glad to donate some money also and a quilt. I will certainly remember this information for future use also, makes sense.
