I know my donated quilts do not bring much money to the organizations to which they have been donated. The functions I have donated to sell tickets and people put their tickets in the jars that specify the prize they want to win. Then they draw the winner out of the jar. So in truth, someone can get my quilt for 10 $ or so. I have not donated this year, better to write the check. I don't mind a raffle, so the door is still open to that if something comes up!
