I agree on a museum but if they don't want it, ask at Guild or at LQS for the name of a collector. Someone will love it - it's a beauty.

I'd quilt it, or give or sell it to someone who loves it. Like me :)

Why not Quilt it? its a great Quilt! Or give to BF OR sale it on The QB We All like it! So you would make a few $$$ for more Goodys! 8-)

Aww I worked out a trade for some donation quilting work --- If I would have known the thread would have turned into a donation topic I would have posted in that area ;-) --- but it worked out just fine as the quiltmaker will be honored and donation work will be done. my boyfriend and i will be happy thanks everyone!!! PS.. we still don't know what the block is.

Sounds like your boyfriend would appreciate it. Quilt it (or have it quilted) and donate it (gift it) to him.

If you aren't crazy about it there are plenty of people who would love to have it. A museum is a great idea but if not, I'm sure someone here would love to have it. Perhaps you can work something out.

Why don't you just post it for sale here? Many of the quilters would love
to buy it.
