Size wise, my suggestion would be a large lap quilt i.e. small enough to move around the house for cuddling under but big enough to fit over a single bed or folded on the bottom of a double bed for pulling up. I have added links below to the kinds of quilts I would buy tickets for.

I wouldn't buy a ticket for a very traditional quilt, a quilt with a theme i.e. cats, hearts, etc. or a quilt with a very definite colour scheme. Just my thoughts. Good luck with your raffle quilt! I'm sure it's going to be awesome and please share when it is finished.
Your comment is right on. I also consider men's opinion. I find that they are buying tickets more now than in the past. I have given up on queen quilts because as vicki says that are not as useful as a smaller 'move around' quilt.
