Update: at the silent auction this was made for there were several other quilts donated, so despite my daughter starting the bidding, I ended up paying to bring this baby home (my daughter will eventually get it anyway!). Don't know about you all, but I've developed a real aversion to letting my quilts go in auctions for anything less than the materials!
