It seems like just last year (I'm sure it was longer than that) I made a raffle quilt and it did very well. No one else was making them. Then last night DH and I went to the gym and on the bulletin board there were 2 notices of organizations raffling quilts. Then when we got home DH had a notice from a FaceBook friend he was raffling a quilt for the English Club at school. These are lovely quilts, but I'm afraid people will get tired of seeing quilts for raffles. And on top of that, where were all these quilters when I was looking for someone to sew with?

I just gave two pieces, not for a raffle but for a silent auction.
There was notice in the paper about a young GI who lost all four limbs and they were having a fund raiser for him.
I offered a quilt and then also gave a hanging that I had made since I thought it appropriate....it was the "old oak tree w/ a yellow ribbon"
What a worthy cause....makes me proud to be able to be a part of it.

There is always a raffle quilt at the local quilt show-every other year. It is usually absolutely gorgeous and well worth buying tickets for. I do agree there are a lot of these raffles lately. It is a good money maker and brings in more money than you could sell the quilt for...
