I agree. When I got married I was gifted a (cheap, store bought) quilt that fit my double bed. When I washed it it crinkled up so much it would fit a twin. You wouldn't want someone to get a surprise when they wash your lovely quilt, would you? It might deter them from ever investing in another fundraiser.

It is a beautiful quilt. I hope you don't take the "no bids" personally. It is no reflection on your work or the quilt. Many years ago I donated to a fund raiser a child's sweater that I had spent considerable hours knitting, not to mention the cost of the yarn and buttons. It sold for $2.00. After that I have given a monetary contribution.
