One quilt I donated to be auctioned off, they got a lousy $60 for it! I even told them they needed to have a starting bid of $350 but they didn't do it... Another one I donated for to be raffled they made less than $300 because they didn't alot enough time nor did they 'work it'. Both quilts were really nice bed quilts that I could have easily sold for $500!
I rather give my quilts to charities like breast cancer, QOV, Project Linus! At least that way someone special gets to be wrapped up in the love I put in to the quilt - a person who will get way more out of the quilt than money could ever provide.
