I'd figure out how much the fabric, batting and thread costs. Then figure out the hours you spent cross stitching the blocks and putting it all together. How much would you charge per hour? I know, that may make it pretty expensive. But your quilt is very nice and cross stitching is time consuming.
good luck

This was not sold it was for a raffle, tickets are sold and you drop it in the item you want to take a chance on.
I personally know Pat Carlson who is the owner of Gloria & Pat Designs who has written all of the cross stitch Precious Moments Books and don't think I will have a problem. Thanks for your input.

Spring for an apprasial with an AQS Certified Appraiser in your area. http://www.americanquilter.com/about_aqs/appraisers.php
There are different prices for different purpose appraisals. She (or he, for that matter) may be able to help you so that you will find future donations more accurate also.

charity donations are valued at actual cost of materials- it's not allowed to add in time- only the actual materials cost.
so it is important to save reciepts- especially if you plan to use it as a donation tax deduction on your income taxes.
an insurance or resale value would be figured at cost x 3.
but most charitable foundations only allow the actual cost values.
