The way I sold Two quilts is I made a Queen size and showed it off at work and one of my nurses said she was interested in buying it off of me if I was willing to sell it. When I told her the price $450.00. She blinked and said it's worth it. OK I will buy it. She thought she was getting a deal. I had a little over $200.00 in it. Then I was commisioned to make a baby quilt for a friends daughter. I sold it for $85.00. I had $40.00 in it. I take the amout of cost and double it. No, it's not the true value but I made some money off of my work that I enjoy. Most people won't pay that much. Yes I agree, they want you to give it away.
