I have given this quilt to our local Fireman's Ladies Aux. to raffle for a fund raiser. This is the third one I have given in the last 5 years. They raised approximately $1500 per quilt. I hope this one does as well.

If your previous quilts were as gorgeous as this one, I'm not surprised that they raised that much money. You do fantastic work!

It is a beautiful quilt. I have a question and I mean no offense by it, Why is it off centered?

Lynneander 05-12-2011 09:04 AM

It's a beautiful quilt. The quilting adds so much. I hope the ticket sales exceed the sales of the last one.

livenlearn124 05-12-2011 09:12 AM

I would think it was off centered so the "long" side could be tucked under pillows.

Just a guess.

AngieS 05-12-2011 09:12 AM

I noticed after the post the top was on the left. that is to allow for the pillows, sorry, it is not square.

DebraK 05-12-2011 10:30 AM

Very pretty.
I have found that some fund raising people don't give them selves enough time to really raise the amount of money they can when they have quilts.
In our area I have seen over $5000 raise for a quilt.
I hope they raise a lot for all the great work and time you put into the quilts.

thequilterslink 05-12-2011 01:31 PM

Cherylsea 05-12-2011 05:11 PM

I've always wondered how much money the gorgeous fund raiser quilts that are shown here actually raised - so much love and effort goes into them. This one should do quite well!

Yooper32 05-13-2011 03:30 AM
