The quilt camp I go to did one recently. They asked all the campers to turn in a 9-patch in fall colors. The camp directors then put the quilt together using alternate blocks (a small print that from a distance looks like a gold fall color) and quilted it. Groups that use the camp facility (it's a YMCA summer camp) plus the quilters sold/bought raffle tickets. I want to say the quilt brought in over $700 after the cost of finishing/quilting it. The camp facility runs several youth camps in the summer, including 4 for which most of the campers attend free of charge because of grants from the state and matching funds that the camp raises. This money went to those programs.
