Default Help! I want to donate my time and fabric to make a T Shirt quilt.

Well, my Daughter-in-law has talked me into donating a T shirt quilt for our annual high school Booster raffle. I'm OK with the expense and the time. I just do not know how to state it for the auction. I will ask for a minimum of 16 T shirts. Do I state a maximum? I want to say I will "frame" it in colors to match, would they understand sash? Doing a search I see people here charge $25 to $50 per block, I'll use that to gauge on how to say what the finished quilt is worth. I need ideas and statements on how to have the auctioneer sell this without a quilt in hand. DIL says to have pictures. I could bring samples of fabric. Any help is appreciated. I do not have a T-shirt quilt to show them. 3 I have made are 1000 miles away and the 4th was made 15 years ago! Thank you!

I know several of these parents have been saving T-shirts and this is a group that spends their money. My DIL is sure it will bring in big bucks.
