My sister-in-law has done 7 to 10 raffle quilts....First one was to raise money to help an employee with funeral expenses...the next was for a church member with cancer, then several for diferent church functions...The last one was a Yellow Brick Road done in blue and white...came out great...only thing is when you do this pattern, at least when I did mine and she did the blue and white, we did so many squares that we could do another whole quilt...So I say the only thing is decide on your fabric, pick a pattern, decide on size and go for it...if there is nothing going on at this time then you can have it ready for the next upcoming event...or donate to children's hospital or nursing homes or assisted living residents....Most of these would be twin size or you could do lap quilts for when they are sitting in their chairs watching tv...or you could donate to cancer treatment centers....someone the other day was making a quilt for someone on chemo treatment...She said that this person gets cold during their treatment...Just a few thoughts
