As a raffle quilt muslin probably isn't the best choice for increased ticket sales. Muslin often can look 'cost-cutting' in those circumstances, and it can take on a dingy look too soon after use.
As it appears you are doing nice, interesting piecing, I'd suggest you use a complimentary fabric in quilting weight cotton on the reverse. Add a label in a lower corner of the back, turn the corner over and pin it for viewing as the quilt is hung for raffling. This will show the backing fabric as an intended design part of the quilt.
