I make a raffle quilt for our church bazaar every year. I was making traditional quilts and found that the folks who liked them were the older generation who already had quilts. Now I make more geometric or arty quilts with batiks etc which seem to appeal to the younger (50+) ticket buyers. I was making sofa throws but find that people are more interested in queen size which can be used for a full or queen sized bed. I usually make the back interesting and tell folks that it is reversible. We usually make between $800 and $1100 on the quilt raffle. Shadow boxes was the quilt pattern three years ago. Good luck...I hope it makes a tidy sum for the church.
