Then at the actual events the quilts were on the auction table with the rest of the prizes. I had roll tickets the same that would be used at events and same price, 5 for $5. Quits are a lot of work to put on a table with gift baskets.
I agree, a D9P is really simple. And depending on your fabric placement, they can be stunning. If you see the PBS special called Quilts Of Valor, you will see Eleanor Burns teaching a person with no quilting experience to make on for a wounded soldier. Just decide how big of a quilt you want. Some cut 5" squares. I prefer cutting 6.5" squares. Good Luck and keep us posted. We are all here to help!!
