I have to agree with the other comments I've read. People who don't quilt really don't understand what it costs in materials alone, not to mention the time you will invest. That's why I finally opened an Etsy shop and put a very few quilts and patterns in it. What I sell there helps cover some of the expenses of my charity quilts, and if someone really wants my quilts they can pay what I'm charging in an impersonal venue, and it they don't want to I never know the difference! I am full time care taker of my husband with Alzheimer's, and we're on a limited income.. I can't afford to make quilts at a loss for everyone who thinks I can do it for what they'd pay for a quilt at Walmart! You have to be realistic for your own sake! Quilters have generous hearts... but they must have sensible heads to go with them!
