I would value the quilt around $250. Unless you have an appraisal for the quilt you cannot claim an insured value. An insurance company will only compensate for materials
used if you have a receipt. Unfortunately, in this situation we never get credit for what it is really worth.

See if an appraiser in your area is willing to give you a free appraisal for the raffle.

If you were to insure this with an insurance company for replacement value it would be VERY high. Get it appraised!
Like anything, there is the IRS tax value, donation value, actual cost, replacement cost, etc. Only a trained expert can answer your question. When you raffle the quilt you can advertise that it will come with copy of the appraised value so the winner can get it insured if they want. When people can see the REAL value you may sell lots more tickets. It's like buying a diamond ring= you'd pay more when you could see the actual expert certified appraisal.

It is approx. 60 x 80 large throw and has hand stitched counted crosstitched in some of the blocks. It is being donated and will be part of a raffle for the Houston Food Bank. I have only been quilting for about 1 1/2 years and only been on this board since July so I need help!

The pattern I started with was the Big Block that idea but I made the blocks to fit around the cross stitch pieces I had and then measured to have all the block the same size. It was really hard and difficult to keep up with I know now it is much easier to follow a pattern!
