i try to do my quilts for each individual situation, weigh who gets it , how much work I am willing to do, what thread and what it costs, etc. I have heard give out of love==========so many people dont appreciate what we do. love it yourself.

My guild makes several raffle quilts a year. That's our main fundraiser. We have learned not to put a lot of work in to a raffle quilt. No hand quilting, no appliqué, no pieced borders. Most people buy a ticket because they like the colors in the quilt, no other reason. We do traditional patterns like log cabin and Pinwheel and a lot of scrappy quilts. Bright scrappy colors and Christmas fabrics sell the most tickets. We use members donated scrap fabric and buy a blender fabric to pull it altogether. One member is a LA and does simple quilting free for us. No one has a lot of time and very little expense in the quilt so if the sales are meager, we still make a profit.
