    as a lover of quilts and fabric, I am just curious. What was the average winning bid for these beautiful works of art? The detail and workmanship looks awesome.

    These quilts are spectacular, and I am so sorry that I wasn’t able to make this event. I’ll need to make sure it’s on my calendar for next year. Thanks for touching base with me though.

    I love the quilts. I’ve always wanted a quilt that was handmade by the Amish or mennonite’s. The postage stamp quilt is my favorite but I like the first quilt as well.

    How much do the quilts go for at auction? I imagine that they’re expensive.
