$15 x 28.6 = 429.68
$20 x 28.6 = 572.90.
etc.

Sounds like a lot, but this piece is PRICELESS!

Good Luck

I don't think it is worthwhile making any quilt under $600, so I think your pricing is hovering in the right direction.

Give them your price up front as well. Getting the deposit for your costs is very important, I have been burned before on smaller items. You don't want to learn this lesson the hard way! I would say $350-$400 is a good range, remember you are going to use lots of printer ink making the pictures, so factor a new ink cartridge into your cost as well. Be confident about your asking pice and you will get it. Good Luck!
