We are a little country community with a volunteer fire department. The 2 quilts made them $3000. I could not donate that much so I was glad to donate and they did the work of selling the tickets.

I think you hit on something. I guess the reason I had donated a quilt was in the hope that it would bring more than the cash I could have donated. Howeve, seeing that was not the case, I'll be going with cash from here on - unless it's a rafffle - and from what those on this board say, that's the way to go!
