There are many reasons someone may need to sell their quilt tops. Because we know the time and costs involved in making them, we may have a more realistic idea of what is a "fair" price to pay. I have often bought tops off ebay, either to practice my handquilting, or because they were beautiful versions of some of my favorite patterns. I have gladly paid as much as $200 (so far), and send the seller a thank you note with a picture of the finished quilt.
