I have sold some on commission - only to people who understand the amount of time and money that go into quilts. I have also tried the craft shows and have to laugh at people when they look at a price tag and drop it like they have picked up a hot poker. They seem to think that because it is "home made" that it is less expensive. I always tell people that fabric runs about $10 a yard - even more now with the price increase. I do enjoy making quilts and getting paid for them - I just makes sure we agree on a price before starting. Learned my lesson by not telling the cost before hand.
