It goes on to say there is 300 hours of cutting, piecing, pressing, quilting and binding @ minimum wage comes out to $2175!!! Needless to say, I had to read it more than once. Sounds like i'm underpaid & I guess that means with all my UFOs, i'm a potential gazillionaire!!!.....now if I could just SELL a few for one tenth that price!!...
Very interesting. I can't help but think of how many times I have read where people find cheap quilts at yard sales or thrift stores for less than $5 or $10. Or the more intricate ones at auctions for $60.
