It had been a great plan. Scarlet and Gold are the colors for the US Marine Corps. By keeping the ring sections solid red (compared with a traditional Double Wedding Ring which has pieced ring sections) I thought it would look more contemporary, perfect for a young couple.
1) I could abandon the project since the event was past.
2) I could finish it and find a different recipient.
I spent Thanksgiving Weekend making "melons" to finish this quilt. It is a throw size quilt - about 58" x 68".
Now I have a fantastic flimsy that I want to use as a fundraiser quilt. The groups that I have in mind support injured/killed police & fire fighters or missing soldiers.
So quilters....how much would you pay for a chance at this quilt?

Lovely quilt, do like the color choices. It is going to make a great fund raiser quilt.
Hi!
I donate quilts for a local group, my longarmer suggested setting the value of the finished quilt at $1500 and sell 1000 tickets as $5 each, 3 for $12.
It would enable a group to earn at least $4000!
this is after costs such as tickets, signs, places to sell the tickets.
Ticket selling would be over a number of months vs 1 month.
It looks gorgeous, I hope it makes lots of money to congratulation you on your work and raise money for the group!
Take care, Leslie
What pattern did you use for that quilt? I love it!
