I think a lot depends on where you live, where you sell and how much profit you are needing to make.
It seems like here in my area it went from few LA'ers to many. With the economy the way it is now, not many of them seem to be all that busy :(
Quilts sell well in some locations out here, but not so well in others or are selling for much less.
Personally, I don't care for the pressure of quilting for resale LOL I am happy with what I do now :D:D:D
