Quilt Auction Prices
#21
maybe a lot depends on where the proceeds are going, I live in a very rural area of about 400, every year I make a nice quilt for the VFD fish fry/fund raiser. Usually it's at least queen sized and brings 800-1200 dollars, this year I could only afford to do a large lap / twin sized hunter's star but it brought $350. We do have a lot of out-of-towners come in for it but usually it's a local who buys it.

I agree a raffle may be the better way especially if marketed and promoted well. I know of one instance where a raffle was being promoted for this past Labor Day weekend. They began right before Memorial Day right after the quilt was finished. The person who won stated she spent $10.00 for the cause and had never won before or had a quilt before. They raised a lot of money for first responders equipment needed.
