I just finished this quilt. Basically I bought most of the fabric to make dresses for my daughters, a year later when I went to make them the pattern was now to small. So instead I made a toddler quilt. I have no use for this. My options are sell it or donate it. (or the old trusted method of folding it and keeping it in a plastic tub with all the others)
My church is having a youth auction. I thought about donating it to them, but they need to know a value. And if I decide to sell it, again with that "How much". How do you know "how much?" Quilt is 53"x53" Ladybugs, hand quilted. Fabric ran me about $45ish. The pinks were scaps, the batting (warm and natural) was left over from a larger quilt. So they were not direct out of pocket. Does that matter? Any oppionins or advice is much appreciated. Thank you.

I would figure out how much you had in materials. All materials, scraps, leftover batting, thread, EVERYTHING. Then I would triple that amount to estimate the "value". Adorable quilt by the way.

I would offer to them as a silent auction and suggest that the bidding start in the neighborhood of $50 - $75. The last quilt I donated was raffled off and raised over $1000 for the organization.

That's a beautiful quilt!!

When I try to gauge the worth of my quilts, I think about what I make hourly at my actual job. THAT's what I would charge if I could bring myself to sell them. I find them rather priceless though.

$85.00 if you sell it, $125 if you donate it...(just in case somebody asks you to make them one!)
