Wow...I never thought to buy just a top. My daughter bought one in a church auction and gave it to me to quilt for her, but I'd never sell one of mine. I put well over $300.00 in the top alone in the quilt that is my avatar. (Of course I still have lots of scraps...enough to make her new baby a matching quilt.) The backing was more and batting and thread extra. I have almost $600.00 in that quilt. Of course it's for my granddaughter and is all Batik fabrics. It measures 105 X 106. I guess I love the planning and piecing as much as anything else.
