I would do some research on how expensive fabrics and quilting has gotten. Someone posted on QB the actual price of making a quilt and it is substancial. Can anyone one make a living at selling quilts today? Then look at some of the big prizes that expert quilter's can get for a prize winning quilt at a big show. Those people are the few super talented ones and not the general public. (at least not me) I know quilting isn't all about making money but since it's an accounting course, I would think that could be the angle to go from.
