I usually make queen size quilts and I don't always buy the backing at the same time I buy the top or even the batting, so when I actually add it up, for my on curiosity I find that I have spent anywhere from $150 to $200 for a quilt and that is on sale. So far I have not kept but two wall hangings. I will make quilts for my friends to give away as gifts, but they are willing to pay for all the fabric and let me keep what is left over for my stash, since I do not have much yet. In the past three years that I have been quilting I think I have made about a 20 quilts, and have 4 or 5 in progress now.
