She told him that wouldn't even pay for the fabric.

This is so true of non-quilters. What a great idea to have the quilt appraised before the raffle. This might prove helpful in selling tickets. Just a thought that maybe more guilds should have their raffle quilts valued by an appraiser and include the write up to the winner.
