Fundraiser Quilt Ideas
#1
I am in the process of brainstorming for quilt ideas for a fundraiser that I volunteered for. I just found out that some friends of the family are having a fundraiser on Feb 19th for my cousin who has Stage 4 Colon cancer to help offset the unbelievable amount of medical bills that have accumulated.
With the vast amount of talent here on the board, I know that you all will be able to help... :)
Here are my questions:
I'm not sure if I should focus on a ribbon block (or big ribbon shape) and make the quilt about the cancer or if I should leave out the ribbon and just do it in blues (that is the color of the colon cancer ribbon)?
Does anyone here have ideas for a ribbon quilt or ribbon blocks that are somewhat quick and easy?
Thank you in advance for the ideas and I will be looking foward to hearing from you...
Thanks, Deb :)

I agree a non themed quilt I know someone who won a quilt it had pics in it of the family who the money was being raised for and she didn't want it because she knew none of these people it ended up going to goodwill

For a fundraiser that I made a quilt for I did it in a theme of interest to the person the fundraiser it was for. In the end his grandmother won it and gave it to him. I think they auctioned it off.

That's what I was thinking too.

Making a non theme quilt may appeal to more people... just a thought...

This sounds like a great idea. I think more people would buy tickets for it or it would go better as an auction item if it would "fit" in everyone's home.
