I hope you will let us know how your sale of the quilts turned out. I hope you have better luck than I did. I did not have any luck selling quilts at my garage sale. I am thinking about doing a "special" sale and advertising it as a quilt sale. Don't know if that would work or not. My neighbor is a artist and she used to sell her paintings once or twice a year that way.

Good luck, I have a hard time giving up quilts that I've made for myself, even when someone offers to buy them!

The first two are my favorites. They are all nice. One of our neighbors has sold quilts in yard sales. I looked at them but were not in fabric colors of my choice and they looked like they were just thrown together.
Your's are very nice.

I thought of that immediately. Why don't you offer them FIRST here and if no one wants them, then offer them at the yard sale.

It is my understanding that finished items can only be offered for sale on the Board for the cost of materials. I do get more than that for them...even at a yard sale. Please set me straight if I'm wrong about the rules!

I am very impressed that you have been able to finish so many ufo's! They are wonderful and deserve to be shared with the world. LOL!

I also have to get on some of mine. I washed (very stupid)and pressed one that I started more years than I can remember ago. It is waiting right in plain view so it nags me everyday. LoL! Finish me.... finish me...

If you have a local consignment shop that might be a answer to your sale of your quilts. If you are a seinor you might check to see if they have a shop to sell items like this. There are two shops in my town that sell the items for the seinors for free. One is association The Assistance League. They are nation wide and thier shop is called the seinor sampler.
The other is through the Senior Citizen Center.
