You have done a wonderful job. I think I may retire from the boutique business. My quilt guild had a quilt show with a boutique for members to sell their quilted and sewn items. I spent a lot of time on the items I put in there and barely sold anything. I think in order to sell, you have to have a very clear idea of what people will buy and what they will spend on it. Your quilts are so beautiful...I hope you find someone to give them to who will appreciate them.
I used to do boutiques years ago, before I started working outside the home.
I did really well for a couple of years, this was before I started quilting. I made lots of fabric dolls and even played a bit with my scroll saw. I used to earn plenty of $$ to frame my cross stitch, which was my goal.
I have so much stuff in the garage that is over half done, I was thinking of maybe next year hauling it out and playing with it to maybe sell at a boutique next Christmas season. Now, I don't know if it is worth the time.
Though I could finish up a few things and use them as gift again.
I have never sold a quilt. I was hoping to be able to sell at least one.

Your quilts are great. You could sell them online, in an Etsy shop or another website. You could still raise funds from them, that way...
Good luck!

I can't begin to imagine making 11 quilts of ANY size in 3 weeks! I am speechless.
Way to go!
