A Quilt, Anyone?

 

7/10/14--2 pm:  Bidding now at $400.

7/9/14--9:10 pm:  Bidding now stands at $250.

 

 

So, here are the particulars of the quilt I mentioned in yesterday's post--it's ready for its new home!  As in the past, proceeds will benefit the Berkeley Food Pantry.  The winner will make out a check directly to the Pantry and get the tax deduction.

This quilt is rectangular, 57" x 65", a good couch-potato size.  Throw it on a sofa or fold it at the foot of a bed.   It could also be hung vertically or horizontally.  The fabrics are 100% cotton  and machine-washable. 

Angie Woolman did a beautiful job machine-quilting it, with each square picked out and quilted with a pattern that I think really suits the design:

The border color is a grayed-green, seen above compared with a true gray.

The back:

 

 

If you'd like to make a bid, please let me know in the comment box, on Facebook, or via e-mail.  I'll post updates on Facebook and in future posts. 

This quilt is bigger than the others I've auctioned off and with more quilting, so let's say a starting bid $100.  Please be generous--we are living in a climate of punishing the poor, and 700 households a month, many with children, depend the Pantry as an essential part of their food budget.

Winner to be announced on July 18!
