Maybe gear them towards teaching kids to quilt.

with a home printer you can print up really cute labels and put the kits in simple lunch sized paper bags. Maybe use a hole puncher to put a couple of holes in the bag foldover to thread through and tie a bow. Cute and inexpensive!

What about holiday themed doll quilts?
Sometimes people will pay more for a small item than for a larger item.
Valentines - Halloween -Easter - Christmas - Fourth of July -
Or door banners?
I'm thinking you might have better luck with smaller finished items than a larger item that isn't "done"
For a "fund-raiser" type of thing, I might part with $3 for a pot-holder, but not $20 for an unfinished quilt top.
