Big impact with little quilts

I've been adding up the totals of what my 11 little quilts donated to the Alzheimer Art Quilt Initiative have raised so far: $520 give or take a few cents, and that's in American dollars (which today are worth the same as my Canadian loonies). My little selvage quilt in the post below sold for $50 in Houston, and the little Amish one for a whopping $80. If you multiply it all out, it's a lot of money for very little quilts. Together, these quilts would make up a quarter of a single quilt (about 1200 sq. inches compared to 4800 in a 60 by 80 quilt) and they're profited $520. If you like donating quilts to a good cause, this is one that gives you great satisfaction in terms of the money raised.  And it uses up the tiniest bits too, like these hand-dyed scraps in the quilt here, which measures 11 by 11 inches, and so couldn't be a AAQI quilt, so I gave it to as friend as a candle mat.
 I'm thinking of joining the $1000 challenge over at AAQI,  since I'm already more than halfway there.
