Some of them are quilted. The ones that are not are clearly marked that
way. She has a really good machine quilter who does most of her quilts. Not that I wouls still pay $2500 for a quilt....but it IS quilted. BUT there IS an unquilted top that is $2000.....called "Unfolding Star" a lone star variation. -- Kathyl (KJ) remove "nospam" before mchsi http://community.webshots.com/user/kathylquiltz "Connie" wrote in message et...

Yes, but I still couldn't see paying even $800 for a NEW unquilted top. And as for the pattern, I wouldn't pay that much for a Lone Star - maybe a Dahlia but not a Lone Star. But then, I've done LSs and have never been able to do a Dahlia! -- Happy quilting & quilty hugs!! Connie I've started a FREE eZine ... and I've posted *LOTS* of free applique patterns!

Me either.....just wanted to clear up that the most expensive pieces were
finished quilts. Pricey, yet finished. :-) -- Kathyl (KJ) remove "nospam" before mchsi http://community.webshots.com/user/kathylquiltz "Connie" wrote in message et...

First off, I wouldn't do it. However, if you choose to do so, you
should charge at least 2 times the minimum wage per hour! |
