(around here it costs about $50 to have a quilt appraised) once you have a couple *in writing* appraisals you can show prospective customers a real (in black & white) value for your quilts. and it may surprise you how much they are actually worth.
that appraisal also comes in handy for insurance purposes. an appraisal is well worth the cost.
That is such a great idea, thank you. I would have never thought of that. I don't and probably never will make big quilts with intricate detail due to physical limitations. I make simple designs and stay in the lap quilt size but I may even do that with a couple later.
