Wow that is a lot of money to make one quilt! Pricing is outrageous! It's like a Rolls Royce, you got the money you can get it! I would rather find something else to "love" to do.

$840 for the quilt, plus $60 shipping for the year, and I assume no batting is included??!
Are you serious? OMG, some people will buy anything! Jan in VA |
I bought some Nadelstern pre-cut blocks on e-bay. Just thought I had to have this pattern, which I do love. But after putting together, the blocks aren't all the same size and I really paid attention to the seam line. So unless I KNEW beyond a shadow of a doubt that the cutting was accurate, I would really think twice, or maybe three times before buying. After figuring what the price per yard for the Nadelstern would have been at this rate, I am thinking of having my own head examined and I will never do it AGAIN. I just hope I can figure out how to put them together and not having it look weird or losing the vision I had for it.

Maybe price is a MISPRINT!!!! OUTRAGEOUS-not in my lifetime

I think Keepsake Quilting is too expensive on everything.
To many more reasonable places to shop. Even local quilt shops are cheaper if you add in shipping costs. |
Wow, I am speechless! and that doesn't happen often...

Ouch! Too much for me too!

You're all being pretty hard on Keepsake Quilting for their price on this kit ($420), but they certainly aren't charging the highest price for it. They are the only one offering pre-cut, pre-fused pieces for the whole thing, however, and thats a lot of labor for 17 blocks plus the border details. It's out there other places at $504 for just the fabrics and patterns, but it can also be found for $250, so a very large range. I think KQ is being quite reasonable considering what you get for the money.

Ryan's applique work has been around since I had my shop well over a decade ago, and was wildly popular then as well. She's definitely got a good thing going and her work is very appealing. I guess the price is one way to make sure not everybody on earth makes one or more of her quilts! (like we all have a stack and whack or one block wonder, for instance.:rolleyes:) I support her fame!

There are many quilters that can afford the prices. Remember that spending a $100 to some people is the same as spending $10 to others. Everyone has different spending limitations and sticker shock is different for everyone.
