    I don't apologize either... just wish I could find some of these 'many people from all over', LOL... I turn out high quality quilts and it is very hard to get what they are worth.

    People need to stop lecturing the OP with how she should charge more next time... The gall!

    Feline fanatic just needs to understand that $300 in Cape G, MO is the same as what she is getting for her art in NY. Congrats and you did a nice job.

    Beautiful quilt. Yes you sold it for less than it was worth. But you did accept the money so that proves that you were satisfied. Have fun doing the next one. Hugs

    living in NY & living in Missouri is a big difference the only cost for me was the backing & batting that I already had the blocks all were cut & giving to me 356 of them, it took me i month to make doing it when ever I can, I sold baby quilt that all I had to do is quilt it & was paid $80 it really depends who is buying it

    Good for you Shrabar. The quilt is beautiful. The feeling that one gets when another appreciates our work is priceless.

    I think your quilt is gorgeous. We just have to resign ourselves to the fact that we can never sell a quilt and get what it's worth. Nor can enough thank yous cover the work we do on our beauties.I am so glad you were able to sell yours. Now don't spend the money all in one place!

    Congratulations. I think you did well!!!!

    I couldn't tell by the original post if you thought 300 was good or bad, but I figured you thought it was good. My mom and I were talking about the prices of quilts and she also said she didn't know people who would buy a quilt for a lot of money (say $1000+). She lives in FL.

    I'm happy for you and think you did great.
