Love the monochromatic, neutral color scheme of this. The soft tan, beige, cream and gold paired with white makes this quilt very elegant and classy and it would fit will in just about any decor. The matching pillowcases are an extra special addition.
I hope it raises loads of money but it has been my experience that silent auctions rarely go very high. Raffles tend to raise a lot more cash. Many people are willing to risk $1 to $5 for tickets for a chance to win such a beautiful quilt, very few are willing to bid more than a few hundred in a silent auction. I would hazard to guess you have $400 to $500 at a minimum invested in this between materials and your labor. But I know many states have laws against raffles.
