Hi melodyg
It has been a few months since you wrote this post, and I too am curious to know if it sold for the price you wanted.
I just read the whole post today and I liked the comments you had from the members.
One quilter said something like... it's the people who have the money who buy and you never know when someone will come in with the $$$
your post was just around Chrismas time after most if not all Xmas gifts had been bought. Soon, it will be tourist season. Keep us posted please. The discussion here has been very informative for those who are thinking of selling their quilt. Not me as I only have one quilt completed, and I am handquilting my second one.
Great post
