All sewing products, not just quilts, are not valued in the monetary sense in this instant-gratification- instant-purchase society we all live in. It's just too easy to whip out your credit card and get what you want when you want it cheap as possible as you or someone close to you does not have to sew (by which working hard) anymore to cover yourselves. Quilts -I'm sorry to say-are simply a "blanket" in most people's mind. A bit colorful, a bit more "homey" but simply relegated to "blanket" level. Plus people are cheapskates, even devious if they can get away with it. They want something for nothing if someone could be duped into giving it to them.
Don't believe me? Unless the quilt in question has a "brand" on it (i.e. Amish/Mennonites) forget it. No socially acceptable pedigree. Walmart/Target/Sears is cheaper. I don't sell any sewing product anymore because I cannot make a living at it. Sadly, it does pays to work part time in a hot dog stand! You get OSHA protection, Social Security, and something approximating a living wage in the US! Sewing? no protection against anything from work related accidents to not getting paid at all!
