I've been quilting for about 7 years and have made about 30 quilts. I would say I am an intermediate quilter. I have given away some quilts, donated some to charity and sold one (a lap quilt, for $100)

I have two friends who are wanting me to make them quilts for family members. One for a friends son (queen size), one for a friends niece (king size). They both want blue and maize (U of M colors).

My sister is a long arm quilter and for a brief period had her own business, so I know what she will charge to actually quilt the top. My question is, how much do I charge to put the top together? I've read some charge by the hour, some triple the cost of supplies. I'm using a large 16" block, fairly simple pattern. Plus, the batting and backing.

Both of these women are well aware quilts are not cheap to purchase, but they're asking for an estimated cost, which I don't really know. $400-$500???

Thanks for reading and for any feedback.
