A raffle produces more money then selling. We sell tickets $1 each. We have learned to make simple patterns. Our last fundraiser quilt was a queen size nine patch of the state's football theme. We sold over $500 at one public venue. It's not the time to put lots of detail work in a quilt for a fundraiser if you want the general public to be interested. The color and theme are the most important choices. The last raffle we had three quilts. One college football theme queen size. One throw size made for a little girl (flower, butterflies fabric), and one throw size made for a little boy (trucks, cars fabric). Most everyone bought a ticket for at least one of the quilts, many all three.
