Signature quilt fundraiser.
hi all,
i need some advice. I volunteer with a non-profit music festival. In the year that i have decided to take off, they have asked me to lead a project to make a quilt as a fundraiser. I am trying to determine how this would work and would love some advice. here is what i know.
1. I am going to insist that it be hung at the festival, on one of the stages. so i am looking at simple patterns. they will be behind the artists onstage.
2. We are selling blocks, and then the donor gets their name (or a short message) on a block.
What i dont know is how much to charge?
What size? should i try to make something long enough to be from the lights to the floor? (probably 8 ft)
Do I sell all of the blocks up front? and refuse to start until they are sold?
any thoughts would be appreciated, we are in our 10th year and kind of scrambling to raise more money.
