A Quilt, Anyone?

First bid:  $100--11/28

Second bid: $150
Third bid:  $175--11/30

Yep, here's another quilt to be auctioned off to benefit the Berkeley Food Pantry.  It's a traditional pattern with a modern twist (no pun).  Blog readers have donated $1200 to the Pantry in the previous four auctions.  Thank you!  The Pantry feeds more than 2000 clients a month, and I see how needy and  appreciative they are when I volunteer there every Monday. 

This quilt is 36" x 50", so it will work as a wall hanging or as a lap quilt that covers you from waist to toes when you're sitting. 

 The back, showing the pattern of circles and squares

The fabrics are 100% cotton and pre-washed.  Angie Woolman did her magic with a machine-quilted pattern of alternating circles and squares.  The black fabric has a slight sateen finish, and the binding is black-and-white stripe.

The background gray-green is more green than this photo shows; it's the same pale green shown on the back of the quilt.

The winner will write a check directly to the Berkeley Food Pantry and get the tax deduction.  If you don't live in the East Bay, I can mail the quilt to you if you pay the postage.  It's compact when folded and weighs 15 ounces.

Bidding starts at $50.  If you're interested, leave a bid in the comment box, e-mail me, or post a bid on Facebook.  If there's competition, I'll post updates on the blog and on Facebook.Past winners may bid if they like.

Winner to be announced at noon on Tuesday, December 6

Good luck!
