people don't seem to get a whole lot for their tops. i love to make the tops too.

The on lqs sells tops too. Not sure if someone consigns them or if they were samples from a class or just why they are there but I know they have them for sale. Not sure if they sell many or the prices. Never really looked at them.

I have purchased some tops from ebay, cheap. After receiving them and looking at them I wonder how someone can sell them so cheap and make any money. Good luck!

I love QTs and have had a few from eBay in the past. I'd probably look at doing pre-cut kits and/or pieced blocks. I think this would allow people to have input to a quilt of their own with some of the grind taken out.

Sad thing is quilt tops are not going for the prices they used to.

i know a few LA people in my area that purchased tops to learn how to use their setup but this was before all the charities you could join that send you tops to quilt for free.

you provide the batting and the thread and then send it back to them for the binding.

Some like to piece, some like to quilt, so you could maybe sell to those only interested in quilting :D:D:D

Hi,

I buy them sometimes as I have problems with accurate cutting and straight stitching--do a lot by hand therefore,

A completed top that looks good is very tempting

K.P.

I make quilt tops and do quilting, and sell quilts, but still buy tops when I find a good deal. Sometime I need an additional top for a quick gift, sometime to donate, sometime I just like the top and it goes in my collectio, or sometime it just needs rescuing. We have 5 children and 8 grandchildren, so there is always a need for a new quilt for someone, besides my friends and other relatives who are always asking when do they get one...now it would have to be a good deal, since I can make my own, but to help someone clean out their stash so they can recover their cost, and I especially like scrappy ones, which often don't have as much fabric cost invested, since most of it would probably be left-overs from other projects. If you have some tops to sell now, PM me and I'll see if any strike my fancy...

I just found an OLD muslin quilt top at a garage sale for $3..... picked it up to try FMQ or ANY kind of quilting as I don't want to ruin anything I make. i might buy a new quilt top if I fell in love with it....... otherwise, I'll make my own.
