I sold several quilts when I moved back to the US from overseas a couple of years ago-I had a variety of wall quilts and sofa quilts I had made and displayed them in my Cafe and most of them sold within the first week! I was totally amazed, but there wasn't anyone there really doing it, so they were unique. Can't really compare that experience with selling here in the US because there are so many quilters. I found some people asking why they would spend a few hundred dollars for a quilt when they could buy one at Walmart or Sears for $39.00 or so! They just don't have a clue! However, I do know you never get adequately paid for the time involved, but most of us make them for the love of it, and not to get paid by the hour for making them!
