Silent Auction
#1
I have just been asked to make a quilt for a silent auction for the Children's Museum in our city. Any suggestions on an appropriate pattern. I was thinking of full/queen size. Need by the end of September. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

is there a theme for the auction event? or is it just going to be sitting in the museum for a couple of days for people to bid on? If there is a theme you might want to think of either fabrics in those colors or themes or a pattern in that way. I think either some nice bright jewel tones would be wonderful. maybe in batiks with a star or diamond pattern. but those are what I like. maybe even a bargello would be nice in some bright colors.

In my experience quilts go notoriously low in silent auctions. However if they are willing to sell raffle tickets for it, they will make more. People love applique and it will be fall so an autumn themed quilt might sell.

I made a queen size quilt with matching shams for a silent auction. Only went for $85.00, which was a big disappointment for me. Oh well, it was a donation so anything they get out of it is money in their coffers.
