I think those numbers are a little misleading- they are constantly adding new quilts and new quilters are joining all the time- sometimes (when things are slow with new quilts/people joining/adding) the numbers actually go up. I've been selling there for 3 or 4 years now and have had quite a few commissions along with sales. sometimes I have one quilt on there- sometimes 4 or 5 and I receive regular daily emails from the site with many * sold* quilts along with new listings. of course like many things quilt sales are a bit (seasonal) holidays and winter time there are more sales than during the months with nothing happening, or hot summer days

The quilt is beautiful! I think I would contact the New England Quilt Museum (as an example) and see if they would like to buy it. Not all museum pieces are donated - they have budgets for new acquisitions. Then many, many people would have the opportunity to see this beauty for years to come.
