How much to charge for donated items?
#11
Maybe ask around and see what people in that area are willing to spend on a table runner?
Would it be possible to sell raffle tickets for a lap sized quilt in the school colors? People are usually willing to spend $5 for a worthy cause to buy a ticket.
$1 raffle tickets for the table runners? and some to sell outright?
Would other colors sell better than school colored table runners?

I think I am going to make a quilt for an upcoming raffle that the squad will be promoting - I don't think we can command the pricing for a quilt at this type of fair. Definitely table runners in school colors and I NEVER thought of pillow cases! Good idea!
The quilt will be my choice of color though - somehow I don't think everyone will appreciate a quilt in purple, black and white....heehee

I'm sorry-I misunderstood; thought it was going to be a school fair, not community (I had another blonde, senior moment). I think $15-20 is good, a low price, but probably what (nonquilting) people will pay. I was at a community fair and someone was selling runners; they were 2 pieces of fabric, no batting, sewn together and turned (birthed) right side out. She was selling those for $15.00. NO quilting or stitching, just a flat fabric runner.
Good luck-hope you raise a lot of money.

It's a potato festival?
Then what about "potato bags" made in school
colors? And with a nice label fixed near them to
tell folks what they are and how they are to be
used.
This might get both the potato people plus the
school folks who want something to show their
old school loyalty.
