I see...ha ha!

I think it would be even harder to sell quilt tops than to sell the finished quilt. Think about it - people who don't quilt won't know what to do with just the top, and people who do quilt enjoy making their own tops. Some of the ladies in our guild have bought quilt tops at yard sales, but they pay very little and usually try to get someone else to do the quilting before the quilt goes to charity.
