I’ve written about this quilt before. It’s approximately 90 x 110 and is composed of elongated hexagons and 1″ hexagons. It was an absolute joy to piece this quilt but we never use it and it seems rather a shame to have it sitting. I’m contemplating selling it but have no idea how to go about doing that or if that’s even feasible. There are 3,295 pieces in the quilt, every piece joined by hand.
The main body of the quilt has the 1″ hexagons in a cream print while the outer 6 rows on either side have green 1″ hexagons as the connectors.
The backing is an off-white.
I haven’t got a clue how one would go about selling a quilt, how to put a value on it or even where to begin. Any pointers?
Smudge, of course, could care less. He’s much too happy upside down having a nap.

There is a Yahoo Group called QTN, Quilting Traders Newsletter. It is for people who want to trade/sell/buy quilting ‘stuff’. You might just give that a try. Or there are always online auctions like eBay, etc. There is also selling on Amazon. Good luck — and let us know how you go about it and the results, ok?

I don’t have a clue as to how you would go about selling it. Maybe Christy’s? It is truly a work of art!!!!!!!

It is such a beautiful quilt! You would probably never be able to get the real value of the quilt, but I am sure you could sell it easily on eBay or maybe Etsy – which is more suited to quality hand crafted items. Good luck with it.

Gosh Cathi, I think you certainly CAN get a price for it that you feel comfortable with. That’s what you need to settle on first in my opinion. Do some poking around and see what others are getting for comparable work. Go from there.

Not far from Asheville is a Visitor’s Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and they have all kinds of handmade items from locals for sale. Maybe there’s something like that near you? You could check it out to see how much to charge.

Cathi this quilt is just so beautiful…lovely fabrics..to sell it…here is AUS lots of people sell on Ebay, but I am not sure you would ever get the full value of what this masterpiece is worth, a quilt shop may sell it on consignment for you?

What a gorgeous quilt! It’s a shame not to use it and enjoy it. Is there anyone close to you who would enjoy it? It would be a wonderful gift. But, if you don’t feel so inclined, do try to sell it.Karen

What other’s have said is true, you will never get a really appropriate amount of money for your quilt. There have been too many slap dashed quilts put on the market for almost no money that people just don’t realize how much time is involved in hand piecing a quilt. Maybe if you mention how many hours it took you to make it. I don’t mean to discourage you, set a price that is good for you, if no one buys it fine, if they do even better.Crispy

It would make a nice house warming gift for someone moving north soon -lol- just kidding. If you’re going to do any auctions- make sure you do a reserve of the lowest price you’re willing to take…..you’re on my blog today too!
