I didn't want to do the etsy route; I thought it might be too much for me.
I started selling my baby things in my beauty shop (the owner's suggestion) then she had another client that opened a small consignment shop. That's where my stuff is now.

Also check the guilds. Often when they have a quilt show, you can place a quilt for sale in the show. The guild typically takes 20-30% of the proceeds, so you have to price it accordingly. If you're a guild member, they may also have a consignment area during the show where you can place smaller items. The advantage of selling this way is that you have a ready audience of people who are interested in looking at quilts and helping the guild, and these people usually also have an appreciation of the time and expense of making a quilt. (On the other hand, many of them also quilt, so are less likely to buy a quilt unless it's exceptional or really well priced.)

Try this
Www.quiltsforsale.ca
It costs $10 to post a quilt and then they charge only 10% of the sale price.

Run an ad in the local newspaper. Our local paper runs it free if the product is under $100. Craigslist is another idea. You can sell anything on that. My DIL sells lots of things on Craigslist and gets good prices.
