I agree with lisawatts. In general people that don't know anything about quilting always expect a great price! Meaning really cheap! They can't understand the time and effort that you put into it. They always think it's alot of money! But your time and effort cost money!

I would like to add my 2 cents, for what it is worth. If she has already cut the t-shirts, I would use fusible grid to make the quilt. I always use the grid and it makes it practically fool proof. Cut the shirts to and even inch number, 10, 11, 12 inches, etc. Fuse to the grid using an applique pressing mat ($15 - $20), leaving room for sashing, 1, 2, or 3 inch. Once t-shirts are fused then fuse sashing between. Fold and sew your seam on all lengths and whalla, done! Except for a border if you choose to do one. Got the idea for doing it this way from this site....

hi check out this site...they make the tee shirt quilts for you...here you can get an idea of prices.i just made one for a friend with 12 tees AND sweatshirts plus 12 more blocks made out of their clothing and charged only $200 and i thought that was alot ! it turned out to be a full sized quilt. i felt bad cause all i had to provide was the batting and backing...and of course my time !!! i have made quiet a few of these it started when my mom passed she didn't have tee shirts but i made a few quilts from her clothing for my children, my dad and my brother. well now from the quillt for the friend i was asked to make 8 baby sized and one twin. i will be charging $80 for the smaller one complete and $200 for the larger one but only the top they will have to pay to have it quilted elsewhere. i call it the memory quilt >>>> here's the sight quiltingbeez.com...
