Think of it this way: you are giving your time and effort to provide this quilt. You have no control over who wins it, but you do have control over making the quilt. Do what You want to do. If you place the hail Mary fabric with solid color borders, you, in effect, have two quilts, as it could be reversible. If the winner doesn't like it, then it will stay hidden on the back side of the quilt. If the winner loves it, he/she has gotten two quilts for the price of one.
In my opinion, it is somewhat unlikely that anyone who would be offended is not likely to even be at the *church* dinner, anyway.
