I think we feel that some quilt prices are too high because we don't value our work enough - the time and effort we put into our quilts - and what we deserve to get for one, if/when possible. Just think how much you'd charge if you figured out the hours we spent on one quilt and multiply that by even minimum wage, then add in the cost of materials!

You know, that does work! When I lived up in NH I had a little clothesline in my front yard. The quilts I hung on it sold very nicely!
Some places, I might worry about theft...I don't know, these days.

try to find a 'niche' - sell a specific theme type quilt.

I told the man that called, that due to the accident I no longer quilt (this was RIGHT after the accident), but the reason he was calling was because he saw a basenji themed quilt I donated to our national show, and he wanted to buy one.

Since then, I don't 'sell' and am lucky I don't have to. Though since then I've made a basenji themed wallhanging, and am half considering finding the guy and just making him one as a gift. Sort of a thank you for making me think maybe I could still do this.

I suggest trying to think of a specific theme that's not too common.
