If that's the case then my quilts are worth at least $1,000 if not more. But I don't think anyone would spend that much money on one of mine. If I were to sell for profit I would have to buy the cheapest fabs that I could find and cut corners to save time. BUT and and big BUT I don't think I could compromise my personal ethics to create a cheaply made product. I always strive for quality. But that's just me. Fortunately I don't have to sell my quilts to make a living but if you did then that would be the way to go. These are just my feelings.
