    Okay, I have to ask--why were you counting quilts on Etsy?

    haha. I didn't count them. When you do a search for "quilt" the pages load and the number of hits is on the top of the page.

    Oh Annie.. go to etsy.com and search for quilt. It's a place you can sell your crafts. It's wonderful.

    hey..some must have sold!
    http://www.etsy.com/search?search_su...ery&ship_to=US

    I just typed in "quilt" in the search all items...you do realize that just about anything that got "tagged" with the word quilt will show up..patterns, books, etc..NOT just a hand made quilt!

    But, either way...that is a whole lot for people to browse through if they want to BUY a quilt!

    I'd love to too. Like someone else said, that's a lot of weeding thru quilts to find the one you want to buy. Of course, I saw many I'd love to buy.. I mean MAKE. MAKE quilts... not buy quilts.

    It amazes me how many people try to sell a quilt on Etsy with a picture that only shows half of the quilt, as it is draped over something. Or it is hanging on a line and there is 70% background and only 30% quilt.
    They let you have a LOT of pictures free, unlike ebay - I would like to see at least ONE that shows the ENTIRE quilt.

    Plus a lot of people give minimal info about the quilt, so you don't even know if it is machine quilted or what.

    I used to sell on Ebay and the more info you had on your item, the better your chances were of selling it. Don't sell there any more. To many fees and do's and dont's. Not worth the trouble. LOL
