I had one of those, subscribed maybe 20 yrs ago or more when first got into quilting, it was like a book club type of thing. Initial purchase then every couple of months a new pattern sent & another fee paid. I cancelled when I realized it was much too expensive & I liked quilt books better. To make matters worse I never used a single pattern, & when moving donated it to Goodwill. Darn, $300, it will be interesting if he get a buyer.

I have a very similar collection I got free at an ASG retreat. These days you can get almost anything you want online free or next to nothing. I think he's nuts too!

Forgot to mention I do not refer to all of that, there is always something new and exciting coming along.

I also have those two binders and would love to get $300 for them. They are the most expensive quilting books I ever bought. I would never do this again or recommend it to anyone. They cost more than that to accumulate and that was a long ime ago. I did make a lot of the patterns in the books. I also have the Christmas one. And a cookbook collection from Southern Living that must have cost me a fortune before I quit buying those once a month "books". If he got $50 for them, he would probably be doing well!

Certainly not $300! I hope he doesn't hold his breath waiting for sombody to buy at this price---He will turn blue!

Maybe $20.00 each? Regardless...they are used, not new...they have been opened and put in the binders. Let him keep them.

He is firm on the $300, too.

Just thought I would post so if anyone has a set of these binders...

If I were in a really generous mood, $10 (including shipping). These days, virtually all patterns are available for no charge online. There are so many patterns in the public domain, that one could never live long enough to make all of them. He is, I'm afraid, into magical thinking. Either that, or he thinks quilters are dumb. This is one of those deals you could probably say "thanks, but no thanks" to. If you just have to have them, at least do some research first, to see if the ones included in these binders are available online.
