Some are gifts...but mostly I sell them. I price them according to my material cost. Where I live, people don't have lots of money. I also make table runners as I can price them quite reasonably and people love to purchase a unique gift for their friends and family. If things are priced beyond reach, well, I'll run out of quilt storage room! I know, my labor is worth something, but I don't quilt to make a living. I quilt because it is cheaper than therapy. The money I get I can "reinvest" in another project. I also do a little machine quilting work for friends who quilt...and I am pretty cheap (I don't do really, really fancy stuff, though). This also supports my "habit." I love the "old" patterns and I try to do new things to challenge myself. I have about 3 or 4 quilts so far this year that are pieced. I'll make a bunch more and start putting them out for sale in the fall (Christmas presents).
