We have found that a raffle usually brings the most money for a quilt. It is easier to find 40 people who will buy a ticket for $5 than to find one person who will pay $200 for the quilt. Generally speaking, in the area where I live, a raffle of a good quilt will bring about $1,000. That makes it worthwhile for me to donate a quilt to the firefighters or to the breast cancer fund-raiser. I always stipulate that it be raffled off instead of auctioned off.-
