My guild will be having its annual outdoor quilt show on October 1, and part of it is a quilt auction. This will be the first one I've attended since joining the guild in January, so I'm anxious to see how it goes. A lot of the success of an auction depends on the auctioneer, and on the advance work of getting people to attend. If quilts weren't bringing in the expected prices, perhaps a minimum should have been set for each quilt so that they could be saved for a more successful auction.
