I have some quilts on Etsy, I don't think you can really "make" money any where, least of all at a consignment shop as they take 20-30%. I make what I want and can afford to make, put it on etsy, if it sells fine, if it doesn't fine. It only cost about 35 cents a month to have it on there. I did sell one big quilt for $350 around Christmas, other than that it's an occasional small quilt. If I were to make a special order quilt I would get cost of supplies up front and would not turn over the quilt until I got the rest. I've heard "walmart has them for $30" I say "then go to walmart!"
