link to some Amish quilts.... http://www.amishloft.com/amishloft/quilts.html (this site has beautiful quilts)

Cutting and piecing the Amish quilt together - Labor time 400 to 700 hours to make just one handmade Amish quilt.

A high quality Amish quilt will usually have between six to eight hand quilted stitches per inch or more than 50,000 stitches throughout the entire quilt, depending on the size
I think they get the price also because of what it symbols...A different lifestyle.
Right on Carolaug!....and I noticed the first link even included a drawstring fabric sack to store your quilt...nice touch!
