I went to ebay and etsy and the big ones are runing 65 and the minis are like 45. WOW. I guess I am going to just have to make my own...

I was at a small quilt show over the weekend and they had them anywhere from $40 to $60

I'd say the price is about right.

Yeah, that would be me I think. I don't like selling things b/c our labor is never factored in :(
I've never made one even for me. I would like to but w/o the bows and I don't know if that's possible. I haven't seen the pattern :)

Have you quilters been hiding these from the rest of the world???
I want one!
I can see how they could easily sell for $50.00 and more.

They could be made without the ties but they are what gives it shape and makes the contents of the purse more secure. If you put a zipper in it it would be OK.
