Yes, a tourist area is the BEST place to sell quilts. Try to find boutiques that sell local products to tourists. Tourists are LOOKING for things to spend money on.
I also sell them on ebay, but only small things - wall quilts, baby quilts, table runners, etc. and generally I sell them AFTER I have used them as class samples. If you have to buy new fabric to make the quilts and then sell them, you need a really upscale market.
