The problem with a 'raffle' quilt may be a legal thing. I know that is the case here in california. A raffle infers gambling and as such comes under a whole set of rules. If your group is a non profit organization, there are very strict rules about gambling. One of the ways to get around it is to 'donate' the prizes and 'suggest' a cost of donations (tickets). I know it seems very complex for a simple thing, but it only takes one person to call in a complaint and your organization can be in a lot of trouble. We have experienced this with scouts, with PTAs and even a band organization that was fundraising for uniforms!!!
