I have some close friends who belong to an art guild. When they have their quilts in a gallery show, they are required to put the pieces up for sale. If there are pieces they really don't want to sell, they overprice them this way. I also have spoken with several national instructors who sell their quilts for thousands of dollars and in that case, you are paying for the name. I'd have to say whoever priced the above quilts either fell into one of the two above categories or else they are simply very hopeful that some idiot will come by and actually pay that kind of price.
I would expect much more of a quilt for that kind of money, but that is my personal opinion. Actually, my personal opinion is that I can make my own for much, much less. :lol:
Thanks for sharing the pictures. Several of them are amazing!
