I had two string quilts, both approx 33x45. I was showing them off, not with ant intent to sell them. My sister was going to pick one for her soon to be GS. One person asked to buy one and get back with a price. I decided on $45. She said no thanks, maybe if it was less. Got me thinking of the worth. I buy them at yard sales but this one was new.everyone has strings of fabric and I cut up old sheets for the foundation. Even the binding was scraps. The point is the materials were cheap but not when I first bought them. I love to make string quilts, mindless sewing but they do take time. For donation or gift, that is ok but to sell, I would like to get paid for my time. Another note, making a quilt for someone and they know you are making it and expect it in a certain puts pressure on and takes the fun out of quilting IMHO.
