Your quilts are so beautiful...I hope you find someone to give them to who will appreciate them.
I used to do boutiques years ago, before I started working outside the home.
I did really well for a couple of years, this was before I started quilting. I made lots of fabric dolls and even played a bit with my scroll saw. I used to earn plenty of $$ to frame my cross stitch, which was my goal.
I have so much stuff in the garage that is over half done, I was thinking of maybe next year hauling it out and playing with it to maybe sell at a boutique next Christmas season. Now, I don't know if it is worth the time.
Though I could finish up a few things and use them as gift again.
I have never sold a quilt. I was hoping to be able to sell at least one.
