it's beautiful. I made a smaller one for a hall table and by the time I was done, I didn't want to look at another pineapple. That's an awful lot of work. I wouldn't be able to sell it. Have no Idea what it's worth.

I paid my MIL $100 over 25 years ago to make me that exact pattern. I've since passed it on to my son's family.

Gorgeous and your workmanship is spectacular. I've never sold much of what I've made but if you sell it, don't be afraid to ask what you think it's worth as people are willing to pay for handmade with good quality workmanship. Good Luck

I would ask an awful lot - I crochet and that's a LOT of work. Very beautiful. I hope you get a great price for it.

It is priceless and gorgeous. I wouldn't sell it, especially since you can no longer crochet. Save it to pass along to a family member as an heirloom.

Stunning! I used to crochet, too, but was never as good as you at it. In fact, I had one pattern that I sort of made up to make afghans that required next to no counting. Last one I made over 7 years ago for my grandson, the one before that for my daughter.

Pricing something like this is next to impossible. Good luck with the sale.

Wow, so very beautiful. I love to crochet as well as quilt. I've never made one that big, I have a friend who use to all the time. Have you ever checked e-bay re: what they sell for? You have done a beautiful job and the pinnapple is one of my favorite patterns.
