A quilter says she won't pay the true cost of a quilt, how are we suppose to get the public to respect our work. If I liked a quilt and it went with my decor I would buy it. Sure I could check it out, find the pattern, hopefully same fabric and make it myself but it wouldn't be the same. I would buy the quilt because I loved it just as I would any other piece of art, clothing, home decor, whatever.
