I always find it so interesting to hear input about selling quilts. I have not ever sold a quilt, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I would put a higher price tag of say $400 with the make an offer price tag, and state this is a one of a kind quilt, hand made in America by an American artist, I would also advertise that custom quilts are commissioned. If it doesn't sell in a period of a few months take your quilt back. Don't leave it their for a long period of time allowing the customer's to say "see nobody would pay that". Truth be told our handmade quilts are a work of art and quite different from a Walmart quilt or a quilt from a high end store. They are one of a kind with lots of skill and talent used to create them. Either you have someone who is very fond of you and makes you a handmade quilt or you pay for it. However, as Greenheron stated factor in the question of do you want to make lap quilts to sell at cost or profit.
