Loved the typo!
I have no suggestions other than: be sure you let them know how many hours it took to make the quilt and the cost if you sold it...could be called a "guilt trip"! don't be surprized if you are asked to do another "volunteer" quilt next year. :) :) :)
good luck.

There have been several threads about this in the past. In one case the charity was miffed that the quilter required them to raffle her donation rather than place it in the silent auction -- until it raised more money than all of the silent auction entries combined!
Of course, a raffle has to be legal in their state, so that has to be checked out.

I'm sorry that this happened to you, it must be so aggravating after all the work you've already put into the quilt. But I think we all need to remember the reason for this quilt is to raise money for the kids with such an awful disease. I hope that you can get over the frustration that you're feeling and pour some extra love into the quilt while you're adding the forgotten t-shirt. No one did this intentionally, but they want the quilt to be extra special to help raise money for these courageous kids. I'm sure you'll be able to do that! I think you'll be glad you took the time to do it right instead of doing something to just "get by." What an awesome person you are to help out!!! I hope this doesn't turn out to be a bad memory for you but one that you'll be able to look back on and cherish because of the service you gave! Please show us pictures when you're done! Hugs to you! :o)

Seriously, your idea of trimming out one shirt and replacing it with the "must have in" shirt sounds good. Good luck with whatever you decide!!
