There's always next week. Haha. Ok so I have been familiarizing myself with block quilts and easy patterns like that. And realisticly speaking, looking at these tutorials, it looks as if I will have to pay about $50-$75 per sitting just for fabric and batting. I have heard of people selling quilts and I was wondering if that is even a possibility of block quilts. I don't expect to be able to be really good at quilting right away but I was thinking maybe after I get good. I just think it will be hard to keep up quilting if it costs what it does and I only make $20 a month. So I suppose when it boils down to it my two questions are:
-Can block quilts be expected to sell?
-If so, how much can I ask for them that is not too expensive but I will make good profit?
My suggestion would be to take the 50-75 dollars you'd spend for one session and buy a couple of the best learn to quilt books.

And forget selling!
