Not only would it foster goodwill with the quilters who participate, but no doubt people who get new (to them) fabric will want to buy items to complement it - coordinating fabric, a new pattern, a notion they heard someone else talking about, etc. Maybe offer an after-hours discount to this group, for that day only?
I love this idea, I would want to participate in something like this.
Also, one of the quilt shops I go to on occasion is starting a new program where you get a discount card after purchasing so much. Her program will give a $40 discount after purchasing $400.
