I enjoyed your calculations b/c MDM made a dble sided KS quilt for MDS and DiL for their wedding. She spent 2 yrs making it with lots of love. It has NEVER been on any bed in the soon to be 6 yrs they've been married. She went with my mom into a fabric store and asked a clerk about how much a KS quilt would cost that was hanging up and was shocked when told between $250 - $300 or more.... (It's like she thought it was a cheap way to give a gift if you made it yourself!) My son recognizes that Mom probably is hurt so he told me he wraps up in it at least 180 days/year...small consolation. I had done a counted cross-stitch that was professionally framed. MDS made a point of showing that they had displayed the picture in their 1st home. A yr later they moved and it is not anywhere to be found. Lesson learned: Be sure your handwork will be appreciated! You don't expect that you would be compensated for the labor, but would like it to be loved as you spent sooo much love making it...
