I am looking for any suggestions. Thanks, Mary

Hi, Mary -
Just sent you a PM regarding Yellow Brick Road, which uses 30 FQs for the queen size.
When making a lap quilt, I thought the light colors I chose were too jarring, so I used some of the shapes leftover from the cutting process to satin-stitch fill some places. This made a very different look which I fell in love with.

Queen size is probably the most often used. I've heard that blue and white or blue and yellow quilts always do well at raffles. The main thing to consider is how the tickets will be sold. In order to get a lot of $$ for the raffle, you need to sell the tickets in different places, and frequently. It helps if you have the quilt there to entice customers. Good luck!
