Check out the web site www.etsy.com. It is a forum for all kinds of hand made items. You will be amazed at the quilts and the prices. Of course, you never know how long some of the items have been listed and not sold.

I saw a quilter's blog where a gal had sold her quilt for $20,000, she didn't announce it until she had the money in the bank. It was an extraordinary work of art and I'm willing to bet it is hanging, framed, in a high end professional office building somewhere.

I have seen quilts of more talent on this board. I do not mean to say the one listed above, is in any way not a very nice quilt, but I can say there are many posted on this board that could sell for more-IMHO

I'd buy it if I had the money. It's beautiful and I imagine the work put into it was as much as a great painting.

shipping cost on it is $50...even that is high

Shipping that price may be high for the United States, quilt is in Wales (England). Would the cost of sending it air mail overseas cost more?

This quilt is is North Wales PA!! Not UK!!!

Why not?! It's a piece of art, an original and it's beautiful. If it were mine, I'd price it similarly.

I absolutely agree - and if you work out her hourly rate (there's a lot of hand work in there) she's probably on minimum wage or less. This is a piece of art and should be viewed as such. You can't compare it to an everyday bed quilt.
