Here's what bothers me:Why will ordinarily sane women go buy a bracelet for $$$ and then add charms in the $$ range and not pay $$$ for a nicely constructed handmade quilt ? Or pay upwards of $300 for a stinkin' purse because some famous person has their name stamped on it. Quiltmakers need to stand firm on their value...what makes that tough is the economy. But we now pay up to $15 a yard for fabric (which is narrower, have you noticed?), so if someone wants to work for free or make goods and sell them for the enjoyment of it...well, that makes it hard on those who do need to make money this way. If someone really wants something, they find a way to pay the asking price. If you reduce the price on this quilt, you will be expected to continue doing so. IMHO
