OK, I know you ladies know everything so I am asking you how this works. Some people I know are organising a fundraiser for a specific flood relief project and I was wondering how I could help, other than just giving money.

The thought crossed my mind to make something, but I am a bit shy about doing this and I don't know if the group would know what to do with it! How do people usually use donated quilts to get money for charity- auction, sell raffle tickets, what?

I am just wondering if anyone would bid on something I would make (how cringeworthy would that be). I am not being falsely modest- I know I am not the world's worst but the quality of my work is not exceptional either. I suppose a raffle might be better, as people might be happy to just view the ticket price as a donation - (that is the spirit in which I buy raffle tickets myself as I am famous for never in my whole life ever winning anything on a raffle). How much would they make on a raffle though? Maybe I should just give them money- I guess I am afraid that they might not even make as much as I would spend on materials.

Sorry this is more of a stream of consciousness than a coherent question, but just wondering alound, you know..... Anyone able to illuminate this situation for me?!!
