I have a large table so I would need a 40" one, however, the width would need to be wider than 14" before I would purchase one.

Your pricing seems very reasonable to me - and I have sold table runners of various sizes for more than that. We all are reacting to the diseased economy we are dealing with. But your work has value and should not be "given away." Don't sell yourself or your talent short. Good luck in your effort.

Thank you!

Thanks. I heard many people say "these are good prices" or "These are fair prices for all the work that went into these." So--I felt great about that. I made nine quilt scape panels into wall hangings--$25--and not one of those sold. Remember my horses in stalls? I had two there--lots of interest, but none sold. I had to stop posting things on the forum because they kept selling... but I have better luck that way!
