Valis Quilt
I never heard of the Valis games until someone walked up to me at Magfest and said "Could you make a Valis quilt?" After looking up what he was talking about, I made him this one of Yuko from the first Valis game:

Unusual request, but I think you did a great job!

Re: Valis Quilt
Really cute. I like the blue in the border and binding - really finishes it off

Re: Valis Quilt
Thanks! I was debating what kind of borders I would do for her and the blue jumped at me. Tip for new quilters out there - don't pick your borders until the rest of your top is done. Then look at it and decide what you think looks best to make your quilt look good.

Re: Valis Quilt
All of those questions were answered on the Sprite Stitch Blog interview! 
Seriously though, the time it takes depends on the quilt. A quilt could take anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months. This quilt took me 3 weeks. It is very expensie for quilting. For example this quilt cost me $180 in materials alone. I sold it for $250. so $70 for 3 weeks of work isn't a lot. My machine is also a $3500 machine that can handle the quilting on a daily basis.
And yes, that is all I do is sell my quilts. I do conventions, but mostly commissions. I make some as gifts, but don't end up keeping any of them. I don't make money, ust enjoy doing it.
