Default Charity quilt auctions and donations

I've been practicing FMQ on some very artsy quilts. The piecing and colors/fabrics are really interesting. However, my FMQ is 'custom' at a beginner level. I didn't use templates but did what seemed to work for each fabric or block area. On occasion, some thread lengths get really tight, other areas may be 1/8" or have a little zig and then continue on. I'd like to donate to a quilt auction but wonder if such FMQ is good enough. How critical are bidders?
(I'd post pictures but my iOS photos don't transfer onto this site probably due to file size limitations. The FMQ would likely not be visible anyway.)
Some fabrics are very complex and colorful Australian designs and there are a variety of blocks that are not repeating. The pattern is not a symmetrical quilt design (if that gives you an idea of the quilt style).
Any thoughts on this? I'd appreciate your feedback!
