good luck with your efforts.
I have donated quilts for both auction and raffle, through both my church and through an effort to help a specific family. I all instances, the quilt hardly made what the materials and quilting cost. But it helped none the less. so as long as you are aware of the limitations on what most quilts go for in charitable auction or raffles, I say go for it!
One tip with raffle--you must have some good photos, nicely printed tickets (usually we sell 6 for $5 or $1 each)have people willing to take the quilt to different events (and have a way to display it) and sell tickets. when my guild does a raffle quilt, we usually will sell quilts for about 6 months before the raffle so sometimes it gets little tiresome after a while. Hope these tips help.
