Farmer's market? Christmas craft shows? May have to pay a fee for a booth but, depending on how much you sell, it could be worth it. You may have more luck selling small pieces (table runners, placemats, etc.) as they are more affordable than an actual quilt. Baby things usually sell well though.

Are you close to a LARGE medical center? I've noticed that the large ones have several gift shops in them and particularly the gift shop for babies have pricey hand crafted items including baby quilts. Maybe you could get some quilts in one of these shops on consignment. If you live a distance from a large medical center perhaps you could arrange everything by email and send a quilted burp cloth for them examine as proof of your workmanship. In this economic downturn, you have to sell where you know people are still buying and where there are enough customers who have plenty of money. With idea in mind, you might also approach boutiques in resort hotels.

there is a site called--
QUILTS FOR SALE they have very reasonable fees, and you set your price (as apposed to being at the mercy of bidders) their quilts tend to sell for good amounts- and they have really grown in the past couple years. visit their site-read the buyer facts/seller facts- it may be what you need. i have a friend in northern michigan who for years made quilts for an interior designer in Chicago---she paid very well! also some furnature shops will buy quilts to display on their beds - take them on consignment |

I see etsy has been mentioned, but they are for individuals or maybe a partnership of 2-3 people, and not guilds.
Some people have success using facebook - posting pix in photo albums, incl. the details. It takes time to acquire a following though, but might be worth a shot. Just heard a woman say she sells her decorated gourds via facebook. Best of luck! Sarah |
My granddaughter has quit selling her jewelry on etsy because the buyer has to have an account on etsy to buy. She has gone to her own web site.
