You can buy all sorts of quilts on line or at some of the department stores ... BUT ... the quilting is about 3 stitches per inch, if that, and the quality of the material is sometimes not so good. Also, it depends on whether you are making a hand quilted quilt or a machine quilted one. I don't think $800 is too much for a hand quilted king size quilt, especially if the person gets to pick out the pattern and material.
