Most people don't want to pay for a handmade custom quilt. They don't want a store bought quilt made in some foreign country, but don't want to pay for our hand made quilts. I recently had a gentleman who saw some of my finished quilts and quilt tops. Wanted one of the tops (to be finished) and one like one of my finished ones, He had asked what the handmade quilts sold for, I told him anywhere from $150.00 upwards to 600-800$ or more depending on size etc. He said that is what he wants. we negotiated a price for both quilts, he said he would get his deposit to me in a few days. It has been 3 weeks and I haven't heard from him. Luckily I didn't start on anything, so nothing wasted, just disappointing.
