My guild has a really nice tradition. Every year we make a raffle quilt to raise money for programs. And every year we also make a second, smaller quilt, usually similar to the raffle quilt. And those who worked on the raffle get a chance at winning it. We call it "The Workers' Quilt."

This is the Workers' Quilt for this year.

You can see photos of the raffle quilt I posted this morning and how similar this one is. The same blue fabrics in both, but I ran out of cream and substituted the tan, because I had 7 yards of it. (Stash rules!)

The raffle quilt is 80 x 100" and the Workers' Quilt is about 50 x 70". It's wonderful to see the raffle quilt ticket pulled and go to someone who bought tickets to support guild. But it's just as wonderful to see the name of a guild member pulled, and see their face when they win. All because they helped make the raffle quilt! Woohoo!
