They get 12 artists to donate quilts that fit inside a custom-made artist box with special drawers for each of the quilts. The auction will be done live at the Quilt National banquet this May, but they accept bids over phone and by proxy. The collection is sold as one piece, so it attracts many collectors, the last couple of time the winning bid has been around $10 grand. here's a link to the news bulletin and photos of the collection: http://www.saqa.com/newsebulletins/artbox.aspx Hi Janis,

This is of interest to me as I've been playing with fabric postcards, an impossibly small format it would seem. Actually, an informative exercise which I think can make larger work better. That distillation concept - sometimes simple is better (or just as good!) Your 12 x 12 gets the point across perfectly.
