I have to confess that I "stole" a quilt at our last guild auction. I hadn't planned on bidding on anything, but I had to bid on this. It was a lap-sized throw and made with batiks with the twister template. The auctioneer started the bidding at $150. No bids. So he lowered it to $125. Again, no bids. So he lowered it to $100. Well, I knew that it was worth the original starting bid of $150, so I bid the $100. And no one bid against me. I was shocked. I will confess that it looks better close up than it did on the display stand, but honestly, $100. I hope whoever made and donated this quilt knows that I wasn't looking for a bargain. It now lives on the back of my living room couch and is a great snuggle quilt.
