That much for a quilt pattern?
I find that original patterns for a Dianne Von Furstenburg 1970s wrap dress sells for over $129 dollars last time I looked. Found a used one in a bunch of patterns in a yard sale and never really looked at it till last month while decluttering, just bought it for a nice cape pattern that was in it.

Now what to do? Have to think on this. Might as well make myself one, always wanted one but never could justify the cost in the 70s. Not quilting, but maybe worthwhile. I need to be good to me some of the time.

What quilt pattern was it that cost so much. Others here might find them in flea markets/yard sales and be glad to sell them for much lesser $$$$$
I've passed over quilt patterns in the past, simply because I knew they were well beyond my ability to make them.

Those who use etsy check their prices also. I bought some polymer clay beads on there that I could have bought at another place for 1/2 price. I never thought anyone would do that. I never would but it takes all kinds.

Usually a pattern like this comes in sets like a block of the month. You can get each separate pattern for a few dollars or buy the whole set.

If the seller on ebay has a store too check that before bidding. I found the same blocks in the store for less than the bidding price.
