donation quilt question
Every year I make a quilt for our church's dinner to raffle off. I am working on this years and I have a question about the backing.... this is a catholic church and there is some fabric that has the prayer hail mary on it.
The color of the hail mary fabric matches the colors on the front of the quilt great.... i would probably have to piece the backing and so it would only be half of the back hail mary and the other half something matching but solid
would that be a turn off having the prayer on the back of the quilt? what do you think? I know some of the church members would love it but I just don't know because I don't know who will actually win it.
any thoughts?

Chances are anyone buying the raffle ticket will not see the back.
Only the winner will.
Seriously, if you are concerned, and having second thoughts, the maybe you should not include it.
Otherwise, speak with some of the others involved in this event.
However ....... you know how that may go, and just be opening a big can of worms.
Might be best to make your own decision ...... and go ahead, with or without Hail Mary included!

thanks for your replies.... sometimes I worry too much. in this case not so much about offending the winner as much as the quilt that I spent time and money on not be used/loved because of the prayer fabric.

Is the front overtly Catholic ? If so, then a hail Mary backing would be just fine. But if the front is "neutral" in theme, I would think a neutral-themed backing would appeal to a far larger crowd. You want to appeal to the masses (no pun intended).
