My nephew is in fourth grade at the local Christian school. Last night he was at my mom's watching a DVD of his 2005-2006 school year highlights. As I stood over his shoulder I saw pictures of all of the kids in his class, including him, sewing panels that would be used to make a class quilt (see the attached photo). Every May the school has a Country Auction & Chicken Bar-b-que as a fundraiser and the 4th grade class quilt was part of that auction.According to my Mom the bidding became quite fierce between a local man with a well known last name and the grandmother of one of my nephews 4th grade classmates. At one point the bidding was halted just to make sure the participants understood just how high the bidding had become. Both wished to proceed and the grandmother ended up being victorious - the cost of the quilt created by her grandson's 4th grade class...
$148,000!!!

That's amazing! At least the school should benefit profusely from all that money.
