Good posts here! I am a newbie trying to learn quilting, but I used to make dolls. Years before I began making them, I would see them at a craft sale and think how expensive they were. It didn't take me very long to see why the prices were so "high". In fact, they weren't high enough for the materials, labor, time and love it took to make each one. In the years that followed, after things from China began flooding our stores, people seem to have traded "homemade" and "made in the USA" for the very cheap knock-off's from 5 year old laborers. Quality became unimportant. Cheap became all important. Sad, but true. I don't think I would ever sell a quilt. I will give them away to loved ones, and to charity.........but would never sell one for the bargain basement prices people seem willing to pay these days.
