Most non-quilters have no idea what it costs just for the material.
I only give my quilts away as gifts or for charities, that way, I know up front that all the cost and labor are on me.
I agree 100%. I get a blessing from giving them away. People ask me if I sell quilts. I don't even what to think about it. I do it for my own pleasure and don't want the stress involved in trying to please others.
