Elementary school fundraiser quilt
 

The third grade students at Oakbrook Elementary School in Spartanburg, South Carolina, colored quilt blocks with designs that represent South Carolina for a quilt to be auctioned to raise funds for their school. I assembled the blocks, quilted with a simple loop meander, and bound the quilt for them. I just learned today that the quilt was sold at the auction for $1,600.00. This was not due to my sewing or quilting skills, but because parents will pay almost anything for their children's work.

They got a wonderful quilt!

That is awesome! I am mailing a quilt for my sisters school auction and I hope I get as much!

it looks like it is worth every penny spent!!!!

very nice!!!!

The quilt is fantastic and for a good cause. Sandy 64

That is an awesome quilt. Glad it raised a lot of money.

Awesome!!!!!

What a darling quilt. So nice that is raised so much money. Nice of you to put it together.

Wow, that's GREAT!! Everyone did such a great job.

That's one of the best quilts I've seen! They and u did a wonderful job!!!

Thanks, everyone. I am glad that the quilt raised so much money for the school. I feel better now about having done it for them again this year. I was sorry for a while that I had promised to do it for them, because my husband went to the hospital in February for three weeks and then had to go to a nursing home (he has Alzheimer's). I spend most of February and March very depressed and hardly able to do any quilting at all. In fact, I haven't done any quilting much since before Christmas. I had to force myself to work on this quilt.

Truly an awesome quilt! Wouldn't it be wonderful if the buyer would then donate the quilt back to the school to hang in the office or hallway?

What a great quilt. I am happy that the project earned so much money.

Amazing quilt!!

That is so cute. I live in Spartanburg

Very nice!! The students and you did a fantastic job!!

Yea Kids!!! The quilt turned out so nice. No wonder it raised so much money!!

What a great fund-raiser! Reminds me of how much parents would pay for a cake when my sons were in scouts. The dad and son had to make the cake! Parents are willing to pay lots for their child's work!

Cute quilt and such a rememberance for the children who got to work on it. I am sure they are proud of their work and the auction price is great. Congratulations to you for donating your time and money also. Great work.

I believe your assessment is correct, although the quilting really is excellent.

You are so nice to donate all that time ! It came out well and made a great profit!

wow that was great

I work at an elementary school and that is just too adorable.

Good for you... I am so proud you were able to do this. Life changes are hard.....but prayers are going your way.....I have always wanted to do a crayon quilt and will have to google this as you have totally inspired me for next years fundraiser quilt for our school! Hope you don't mind!

What a wonderful quilt, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

It was your gift to the children in completing this quilt while going through some tough times that makes it so special. Thoughts and prayers are with you. Linda
