I worked for Mennonite Central Committee, and many of the quilts are auctioned at relief sales throughout the US and Canada. I once saw one auctioned for $10,000, bought by a San Francisco businessman to hang in his office.

It was a Baltimore Album, and the lady that made it worked on it for over a year, then it took a group of church ladies several months to quilt it. It was all applique, with rushing, embroidery and it was the most beautiful hand work I have seen.

And like someone has already said....it was a labor of love.
