The quilts were prominently displayed at the convention center.
Connie and I started the ALA Biblioquilters when we met at the ALA conference in Washington, DC, in 1998. For some years we planned a fabric-shopping excursion at the conference city. Now we make quilts (some collaborative, most individual) that are sold in a silent auction to benefit a library school scholarship.
This year the bids were the highest ever -- $7951!
I contributed these five.

But wait, there's more.
This quilt was on display (not in the auction).
I don't know if you can grab the QR code from this photo. The link goes to Laura Guertin
and you can see her other science and data themed quilts.
This patchwork caught my eye.
Look again! It's paper collage made from catalog cards!
Here's more about the artist.
She donated these pieces to the silent auction (but not part of that $7951).
I was the successful bidder for this one. It's now on display on the mantel.
