Thank you all for you responses!!! I fully agree that it is a lovely quilt and will make a wonderfull gift. I want one myself lol!!!!
The lady is a person that I do not see very often and doesn't embroider so I felt she was 'kind of sort of' doubting my opinion of the cost.
I embroider and quilt as a hobby so I referred her to a good friend that has a commercial embroidery shop.
My friend told her the exact same thing, way too labor intensive to make and try to sell for profit.
Janet, on the 'auction' program a man bought in a gorgeous hand appliqued on wool quilt his grandmother had made. Beautiful and well cared for, appraised at $10,000. Sounds like a lot to a person that doesn't do hand work lol!!! We know better. Yours is beautiful too!
