Another thing they mentioned was having a little info sheet with the raffle about how much time went into making the quilt, how much it cost etc.

I know you asked specifically about a pattern and I'm not answering that for you... sorry :( I don't have a pattern idea, but I thought the 8-9 fabrics was important to mention. The article specifically mentioned that if it was a church raffle that "a traditional quilt is a must. Classic pieced designs are universally loved and, while not absolutely necessary, a little applique goes a long way."

Hope that info is helfpul to you :)
Thanks!! I have patterns galore, so it would not be hard to find one that uses many colors. I may use embroidery machine to quilt it in the continious line quilting pattern. Thanks again. Mary
