Ok I need to start bringing some money into my home so i decided to sale a couple of my quilts and other projects. Problem is I don't know how much to try and sale them for. So, I need some help.
This quilt is a crib size quilt. It was pretty expensive to make because the backing is chenille. How much do you think? Its now cut and frayed too [ATTACH=CONFIG]92244[/ATTACH] |
I love your quilt, especially the fabric on the back. I do have a comment though, especially if you plan to make more crib size quilts. The one that you show has a couple of choking hazards. The buttons and the strings could both be dangerous for the curious hands of a baby or small child. Just a suggestion.

I think it was been clipped and frayed after the pictures were taken.
|
Buttons are still not good things for baby quilts.
|
you could remove the buttons and tack by machine in those spots. then trim the strings and go ahead and clip the seam allowances to make it "rag".
$35.00 would be a good price someone might not mind paying . everyone is pinching pennies these days. |
I think $35 is a good price too. Cute quilt.
|
I didn't mean it as a quilt for a baby but a child size maybe. It covers me quite comfortably. I will have to get it measured here soon. It is now cut and frayed.

Cute!

it is difficult to actually get a good price from kid's size quilts; most people are not willing to pay more than $45-65 for a kids' quilt. i used to make game quilts by special order, i could not make one for less than $125...so i hate making them to sell, i just give them away.
your quilt although cute would probably be hard to sell for more than about $50 it is best to save the expensive fabrics for quilts that you can charge more for. you will be lucky to break even. and i know everyone has mentioned this but i'm going to add again... buttons should not be put on kids quilts. i have sold literally hundreds of quilts...and anything smaller than a twin i never made any money from; barely break even...or take a loss...larger than twins sold well and i could sell them for $125-$150. there is a lady that has a booth at a local farmers market...sells quilts for $30 and tote bags/purses for $7.50; no-one around can compete with her. and it does not make a difference that she uses goodwill scraps and $1 a yard panals and the next person pays $10 a yard for their fabric. unless it is a quilter looking regular traffic just thinks you should buy from her, everyone else is over priced...so i avoid that venue... |
