You could do blocks and then if everyone made two and use one to make a donation quilt. Some churches permit auction of such quilts, some donate them to needy families or families who have a fire or tragedy of some sort. Your ideas sound good although an hour might be a bit quick once you get going. We meet from 10AM to about 3PM --every other month we have pot luck -on opposite meetings we have brown bag. We do a fun raiser quilt every year and donate to local charities. Food pantry, foster care, homeless shelter, Center for Survivors etc. The other group I belong to makes kids quilts. The hospital there is a center location for kids who have been abused. When they come in they can pick a quilt and wrap up in it. They then get to keep it. Its amazing to hear how those quilts wrap their little bodies and souls. One of our members is a nurse in that unit and she said it brings tears to her eyes to see them wrap up in the quilts.
