A Quilt, Anyone?







I just finished stitching the binding on this quilt and debating whether to keep it for myself (fits the couch!).  But no, it's up for auction and ready for a new home.  The colors are richer than either of two cameras manage to convey.  Here's another try:

Over the banister--still a tad over-exposed

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.

The quilt is 51" x 72", ideal for someone lying on a couch.  Here's how it fits on my own:


Lengthwise on an 84" sofa



The fabrics are 100% cotton and machine-washable; all are pre-washed.

Here's the back:


And some detail of Angie Woolman's machine-quilting:



Waves (above) and boxes (below)



It's a larger quilt than I've auctioned off in the past, so how about an opening bid of $100?  You can bid on Facebook, in the Comments Box here, or by e-mail.  Winner to be announced July 14.

Since 2013, blog readers have contributed $1200 to the Pantry in these auctions.  Yay for us!
