When people see a "quilt" advertised for $59.99 for any size - they think that something "home made" should cost less.
Although if paying for custom cabinets or something generally associated with "male" things like welding, they don't seem to mind coming up with the money.
Go figure.

at our local farmers market there is a lady who sells quilts all day long about the size you stated, with poly batt & backing...she sells them for $45 each. double your costs and try, but i don't know how well it will sell, it really depends on LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. i spent one summer selling (beach quilts) they were about 60" x 72" we sold about 40 of them for $125 each...(at the same market as the $45 lady...it just depends. good luck
