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.
your quilt is a priceless heirloom-charge accoringly
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.
I do both.I make some to try to sell-I make what I feel like making.I do make for family and give them away-and for charity.I do not take orders-not fun that way.if I have some that do not sell after 2 yrs then family gets them for Christmas and pick the ones they want.I sell a few and that pays for batting to keep making more.
