Default Bowling For Rhinos charity quilt

This is a charity quilt I made to be raffled off for an event called Bowling For Rhinos. I am an elephant keeper and every year in cities around the country, the American Association of Zookeepers holds Bowling For Rhinos to raise money for rhino conservation.

This is the first time I've tried quilting an orange peel pattern, it was pretty difficult with my less than 6 inch harp on my machine but I did it!

To donate this item, I need to fill out a form that says the estimate value of the quilt. Any ideas on how much to say its worth? It took me two weeks and all the fabric was leftover from another baby quilt I made. Thanks for looking!

Cute and colorful for baby. Sorry I'm not good at figuring value?

It's so pretty, and I think it's priceless for the cause.

Darling quilt. Just make a rough guess about how much fabric is in the quilt and the amount you spent on the yardage. Then add your hourly wage for making it.

Adorably done! Agree about cost plus hourly. Average on material is $10 per yard, plus we figure $20 per hour labor.
