I just looked at your quilt, absolutely fabulous :lol: :lol: :lol: In my opinion
its in the $750-$1,000 range. |
I'd say at least $750/$950 -- you can always go down but it's hard to go up!! Let us know....

I know the Amish website charges $1000 plus for their quilts. I haven't seen yours but know that everybody's I've seen on here has been great. Maybe if you look there at www.amishcountrylanes.com you might get an idea of pricing. Just a suggestion.

Thanks guys. I will let you know how it does in the fair. You have given me a good idea of how to price it. If I can't get that for it I will just keep it. :lol:
|
I'd start at $950 because it's hand quilted... I have machine quilted ones I'd sell for $700-$800.
|
Oh, do you really want to sell that quilt? It's so pretty. I would hate for you to sell it and then later regret it.
But if you are going to, please don't go too low. (And ask a lot more if it takes a ribbon!!!) That quilt is completely original, which makes it art in my book, and there is no reason for you to work for less than minimum wage. If you wanted to make minimum wage, you could go work at Walmart or McDonalds and keep your beautiful quilt! |

My Mom always tells me that you can't put a price on quilt work, like that. It's mostly a Labor of Love!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D |
Do you have a local quilt appraiser? I would have it appraised before I made a rash decision on the price. We always UNDERPRICE our work so it is good to know what the value of it is. I have several of my quilts appraised and I'm always amazed at their "replacement value" (for insurance purposes-which is a higher appraisal than a market value appraisal). Don't under price it!! I know it took a lot of work and your original design makes it a little more valuable.

We don't have a quilt appraiser anywhere close by that I know of. I think Iwill probably just hang on to it unless someone makes me an offer I can't refuse. On the other hand I could certainly price it at a thousand and see who is serious about buying it. But I won't even put a price on it until after the four states fair. Thank you all for your input and your compliments. They mean a lot to me.
