QVC had several brands on the Quilt Rack but the one I have is Country Living. Like the magazine.

Those Country Living quilts are pretty and warm! I have several throughout the house; at least one for each bed. Some are visable; others are under the bedspread or coverlet.

They were 100% cotton and reasonably priced. Would love to see those quilts return to QVC. They made great gifts.

They were nice and often displayed on a quilt rack. I still want a rack but I have enough family quilts.

Sunday River Quilts is one they used to sell. I have one called "Kim's Wedding Ring" on my bed now by them. The Legacy Home Collection is also one and are the one's who did Mary Beth's very own quilt.

I purchased a couple of the QVC quilts, but hated myself for doing that.

Handmade quilts are extremely expensive when they are made by craftspeople here in the US. They are worth every single penny. I took a quilting class and it is very time consuming, tedious work.

The quilts sold by the Q came from China. I hate to think about the people who made them and what their wages probably were. I envision sweat shop conditions with children working. The quilts were very inexpensive. If they sell them again, I won't be buying.

BTW, those vendors who claim to have visited the factories only saw what the Chinese government wanted them to see. No doubt they were clean, modern, and no children workers. They will never see the real workplaces.

@shortbreadlover

Please post a photo of your quilt, we'd love to see it! I'm glad you didn't sell it; your quilt should remain in the family. You may have to cut it into smaller quilts to give one to everyone who would love to have one.

i have a couple of the Country Living quilts and 2 throws. One throw is called ants at a pinic. It is really fun. The last quilt that I bought was in 2010 a Sunday River quilt. This one was Barn Dance. Purchased it for my mother when she was in a nursing home. it reallly brightened up her room.
