MY husband's friend wanted one of my quilts to give as a gift to someone else. I told him $200. He didn't buy it.
Between fabric, which is not cheap, and time $200 is base price.
I make quilts because I like to. I like the process, the colors, the time it takes. It fills the time I would be in front of the TV.
