Gorgeous! When we do our raffle we do: 1 ticket limit at $5.00 each.

We manage to make enough to cover meat, paper products and drinks for the next year.

Everyone fights over the quilt. This year will be the 5th year I made one. I never win them but I love to make them. My skills implrove each year and I can see it in the pictures. They all know I am not a professional and each quilt is made with love for our family. They love me anyway. :)

Good luck!

Your quilt is beautiful! I don't think you have to worry about it going for $30. Anyone would love to have this!

That is a beautiful quilt, and someone is going to be VERY luck to get it!

As for raffles, I handled them a few times for my non profit clubs. What I found was that we sold a LOT more tickets by subtly "suggesting" more tickets. For example, offer one ticket for a dollar OR seven tickets for five dollars, something along those lines. After all, we didn't care how many chances an individual had to win, the goal for the group was to take in the most dollars possible. Often people think in terms of buying one item, however when offered a chance at a deal for more than one, often they will. It simply does not occur to them to buy multiples. Remind them that they receive a far better chance at winning with more tickets and that it is a fundraiser for a worthy cause. This worked for our club. We changed our fundraiser totals from one year to the next from $200 to $600 with this method.

Good luck, if I was there I'd be buying a bunch of tickets for that quilt![b][b]

How come we can't buy tickets too? I would get in on this one for sure! I love teal and your work is just lovely.
