This is very enligthing, ladies! With your help I have settled into making this:
1) A lap/larger toddler size (45 X 65 inches)
2) A model that can be used as a sampler for creating a new listing/offer in my online shop porfolio
3) A gender neutral model
4) A model with a "big visual impact" (something that look complicated to make but is not - we quilters have several tricks for this like strip piecing etc.)
5) A model using my scraps
The auction will be held in November, after a Christmas concert. It's my children choir's fundraising. Many grand-parents will be there. I've sold many quilts to grandmothers who want to have a nice quilt to keep at home when their grandchildren are visiting :-) The key is to make something fun that both a children or an adult could enjoy. Someone mentionned SewFresh kind of pattern; could be Hartman also or anything similar.
I will indeed put a minimum bid if we do a silent auction.
