It's very difficult to make any money for a quilt because most people don't want to pay what your labor is worth. Good luck.

Thank you , and thats what I figured because no one can believe when I tell them how much I have in some of the quilts I've made...there like " your kidding me it costs that much , and thats not even your labor " and I say yep its cost alot more than what people realize !!
