Since you can get a quilt for next to nothing at any store, mass produced, in some good patterns, People take them for granted. No people do not appreciate how much one costs to make or how much labor is involved. You can get a cheap quilt at Walmart for pity sake.
I had a fried see the quilt I made my daughter and she said she wanted one for her daughter, she would buy the materials. Told her I had $125 tied up into it, and she said nevermind. She can buy a comforter for a fraction of that.
