Just last weekend I took a tote as a donation for a fund raiser and was asked to put a value on it. I was mentally debating how much to put down so asked the other person who was taking something at the same time what he thought i should say. He said "oh, i guess $10 or $15". Since it had been made rather quickly and was not quilted or pieced, just drapery fabric (which i had gotten inexpensively) lined with two patch pockets on the lining, I decided to put $30, even though I felt like it could have been priced higher. Did not find out how much it went for in the bidding. He was happy that his wife's cookies went for $8 a tin.
I will remember this the next time someone asks me to make a quilt that is not a friend or family member!
