I'd use previous years income at the silent auction as a gauge as to what I donated. If a quilt brought in a good amount of money, do that. Consider if a cash donation might be better for you. You sure don't want to spend a hundred plus for a quilt that will go for $50.
Since this is before Christmas, how about making some flannel pillowcases with holiday themes? Maybe a couple pair of nicer pillowcases for adults, and a few fun ones for kids (and kids at heart!) It's my experience that pillowcases are fairly cheap to make and pretty well received, not to mention, easy and quick to make.
