I would say it depends on your area, the quilt, etc. If its tied, you'd be better off with the $1-6/$5. Quilted though,if people are in the know, would pay $5. I would think there would be a local business you or she deals with that would contribute smaller items. One other thing to think about, though...(I haven't read beyond the first page of comments so forgove me if its a repeat), true raffle tickets need to be licensed and there are a lot of rules. If whoever she's going with has a raffle license already they are good for a year, they may let you put that number on the tickets. Many people get away with raffles without having a license, but again, depending on where you are, I would be careful.
