Thanks Dottie, I was thinking $1 a ticket or 6 for $5... I'm sure that many people will take a chance at a handmade quilt for $1, I know I would. :)

:) Update on the fundraiser quilt...
This is what I finally came up with. 52"x68" Quick & easy... I am very pleased with it... I would like to get it quilted at the LQS (inexpensively, I hope) A lady that I work with also works part time at the LQS. I am going to take it to work with me tomorrow & see what she can do... Thank you all for your ideas... :) up close [ATTACH=CONFIG]159099[/ATTACH] Full view (closer match to true color... very rich blue & brown) [ATTACH=CONFIG]159100[/ATTACH] |

they wanted to win what they could see. -- we're thinking of getting another one together that is more generalized to auction off this year - but it might not happen until next year. |
Very pretty quilt- people love blue, you should sell lots of raffle tickets. Sorry about your friend's illness (((hugs))).

Beautiful quilt, Deb. I hope it raises a lot of money.
I am currently working on a similar pattern but I am having trouble getting the small dark brown squares to line up correctly. How did you piece the top to get it so perfectly aligned. Your quilt looks great! Thanks, Elise |
Can you start selling raffle tickets before the fundraiser and raffle the quilt after? If you try to sell tickets on the day of the fundraiser only you may not get much. Can you auction it instead during the fundraiser? You want to raise ore than you spend making it. Is beautiful. Good luck.

Thank you, Elise.
I made sure the pieces were cut exactly the right size and "nested" the seams. I ironed toward the darker color and butted them close together. And pinned... ALOT! I hope this helps...
