My mother always bought custom made comforters to match custom made drapes ordered through an interior decorator where she bought her furniture. I would think that those of you wanting to sell custom made quilts could do a good business though that type of venue. There generally is no question of price, only does the design meet the decorators specifications. A quilt in the $1-2000 range should be no trouble.

You might try quilts for sale, it is a website where individuals sell their quilts. It is hard to sell quilts for what they are worth, most people don't appreciate hand work anymore. I only make rag quilts to sell. I get material at thrift stores and I buy flannel sheets for backing and middles. Also, I find handmade jumpers for $2.50 because no one wants them. They have lots of material if they are gathered at the waist and of course the bigger the size the more material. I buy denim jumpers too. Men's shirt are good but you really have to get a deal because of the small amount of fabric. I can sell baby and lap quilts for $40 - $50 and full size for $80 - $100. You have to beat Walmart prices if you're going to a flea market or even craft shows. I sell at a local flea market and on Etsy but it is still slow except for the holidays. If you can save on your materials it will help you a lot. I also feel good about recycling instead of always buying new.
