I agree donating sometimes doesnt get you the satisfaction you deserve from it. But, ya know it's a matter of the heart. If your heart is to donate then it should not matter what the cost is. I made a K/Q size quilt a few year ago for out mission team to raffle. We sold ticket for 10 each. My husband even made a quilt rack that cost him about $60 to make. We sold 70 tickest and made $700 from it. Raffles seem to work in the right enviroment. I will be make two next time. Twin size, one for a girl and one for a boy. I figure parents will really go for this.
