I'm not sure if you guild does events to hang their raffle quilt at different venues to show it off and sell tickets. Mine does. It is Marys River Quilt Guild, and the raffle quilt is a yearly fund raiser. Some of the local quilt shops hang the quilt and they sell the tickets for us (they don't sell many). We also are at the Sisters Quilt show in the Sisters Pharmacy and sell a lot of tickets (members volunteer for 2 hour shifts for 2 days). We are also at the County fair, and sell tickets with the quilt on display, again members need to volunteer for 2 hour shifts. Every other summer, we have Quilts in the Garden (another fund raiser) and we sell lots of tickets. We usually make over $2K, it provides our "rent" money where out guild meets. We have a website and out raffle quilts are very popular.

* We also give chances for those who sell the most tickets, and those that volunteer to sell tickets, we make a small quilt that mimics the raffle quilt and someone wins that quilt.
