I had offered to donate a quilt to a local group for their annual fundraiser. I learned 2 other quilts have already been donated. Because of that, I decided not to donate the quilt. I feel like if there are 3 quilts available, none of them will raise the funds they could because there are too many of the "same thing". I'll help out in some other way.

that second idea is a great one!

I donated a Queen sized vintage Flower Garden patterned quilt (new, never been used) to our church last year for a raffle. Our pastor would not let us use the words "raffle" or "chance". So we used the phrase "potential opportunity for ownership". We sold our "POFO" for $1 and spent about 3 months on the sales. We made over $4,000. We feel what helped our sales was a picture we used of the quilt spread out on a queen sized bed so people could see what it would actually see what it would look like on a bed. Also, it was a hand stitched, hand quilted quilt and had beautiful colors.
