I am in the process of finishing the borders of a quilt that will go to auction for my DD's best friend's toddler who suffered brain damage due to seizures--Mom no longer able to work, lost insurance, they are finding lots of expenses for specialized equipment, etc and know that future is not looking brighter. So I suggested this quilt to auction at a fund raising dinner---in mid July! anyway, I always have my DH start bidding at least at the cost of materials, will get DSIL to up the bid and hopefully that will get the bidding off at a good starting point--otherwise we'll be bringing it home! Have done this before for other fundraisers and only once did it come home with me--but DD wanted it so worked out well.
