What a beautiful quilt! :lol:
We do raffles at church and sell them for $1 each or 7 for $5. That is not enough for a family reunion group though. At least $5 each, and maybe 5 for $20 :lol:
I like Patrice's suggestion.

. I thank each for the wonderful compliments and suggestions. I will certainly be using some of your suggestion on a price start.
I have been sewing for four years and have so much to learn and easily intimated by the beautiful work you guy do. I am just now getting a half way accurate 1/4 seam.....being a great challenge for me.
From your kind comments toward my quilt it give me encouragement to continue growing.

Your quilt is lovely. We had such a quilt some years ago at our reunion and sold chanches on it as people arrived. Don't recall the amount raised but remember it did well. We have a member of the family who now does scrape books with family pictures and the last one brought about $350. at the reunion auction.

Beth-your quilt is fabulous!! Wish I was in your family!!!
I agree with others that you should sell your tickets for at least $5 each and maybe go 5 for $20. I do not think you will have any trouble selling tickets!!!

I agree with Patrice. I wouldn't sell the tickets for less than $5 each. Try to make it a competition between heads of the various families to see which family purchases the most tickets. Hopefully some of your members will realize how much a quilt is worth.
