Creativity and sustainability came in the form of custom quilt designs at IIDA's 7th Annual Sustainable Quilt Auction on 3/25/15. The event was held at the Open House Galley in SoHo, and celebrated all participants who collaborated to create usable quilts out of discarded fabric samples. This year's auction is benefiting Be Original Americas.
