Sorry you did not do well on ebay.. I am not going to do there ...............by the time you pay your fees etc as well it would not be worth it. I have two orders now.. and I also think I have tons of fabric and will make them and give away too so why not? I plan to charge more for bigger and customs orders. which I am confident will follow.

What size and price range were you in on a ebay?

I have some of the same nursery rhyme fabric. Thanks for the picture, if you don't mind I would like to use your idea for a child quilt. Your quilts are neat.

Would love to see pictures of yours.

Generally baby quilts. They go for about $40-$60 Australian. I had my fingers burnt with what I thought was a great child's applique quilt with trains on it. It took me forever and I was expecting about $150-$200 - it sold for $70. Needless to say the person who bought it absolutely loved it but for that price - Never again!!!
