Aaaah, this was a puzzle for me! First of all, I've never sold any quilted items before: I either gift them, or donate them, or keep them to use myself. And second: since I'm new to the guild, I have no knowledge about what has successfully sold in the past, and what the pricing range was.
I decided to make up a few log cabin runners using strips from my scrap bin and leftover batting pieces -- I was reluctant to buy any new fabric or supplies for something I'm not sure will sell. Sort of an "it is what it is" effort, but at least now I have something to put in the boutique! Next year, after I experience this year's show and sale, I'll have a better idea of what to expect in general. Just trying fulfill the expectation and be a team player this time :)
And now I can get back to Punky Doodle!

GRATITUDES
1. Nice soaking rainshowers the past couple of days giving the forest a drink
2. Pasta dinner at Paoli's -- yum!
3. Sitting on the front porch listening to the crickets (summer is waning --it's getting dark earlier!)

Good luck with that. I like the two at the back, the blue one and the christmasy one.
I think they're beautiful Jeanne - especially the autumnal one - I'm sure someone will love each and every one of them - and with the amount of seams it takes to put log cabin blocks together they certainly can't say you've not put any effort in
They are all lovely - too bad there is so much peer pressure involved...
Jeanne,
You've done a terrific job - can't believe they are all from scraps !
I like them all, and think you should do better with table runners then if you had made larger quilts.
Good luck.
blessings,

My favorite is the Halloween-y or maybe fall-ish one (looks orange and black on my monitor). Trying to predict what will sell is HARD. LOVE Punky Doodle!
Good idea, Jeanne. I'm in the same boat, donations for a school auction. I usually do a quilt but have run out of time. I've decided on patchwork tote bags. I think in the long run several smaller things bring in more $ than one quilt.
i have no doubt your items will be snapped up! i for one love the fall/halloween colored runner!! That is very sharp looking! If i lived close would have to come see about that item!
