Ok, when I made this quilt, I had no intention on selling it so I didn't keep track of hours, etc. but now I would like to sell it and don't have a clue what to ask. All the fabric is Marrakesh by Blank Textiles and the backing is just good muslin. It was machine pieced and quilted on my mid-arm with a basic meander pattern. It is a King Size. Any ideas what to ask for it?

Thanks

PS-The pics were before I quilted it.

Beautiful quilt

That's really a nice quilt - I would think those colors make it appealing to a pretty large group of customers.

The general formula for pricing (the last time I worked as a professional crafter or artist) was 2 or 2.5 times the cost of materials plus $8-10/hr.

$8/hr was a pretty good wage back in the 70's and 80's - it's only a little above minimum wage now, isn't it? You'd probably want to adjust that upward.

I don't have any idea how much people charge for quilts - having spent the last few years working at it, I think it should be a LOT. ;) But, in this economy, you don't want to price yourself out of the realm of possibility, either.

I have seen quilts like this priced at $300.00 or more. Btw it's a georgious quilt.

What about one of those bidding wars on e-bay. I don't know much about it but I've heard people talk.

Sounds like a good idea, tho I've nover bought or sold that way.
I agree that $300 should be the MINIMUM starting bid. Those quilts made in the Orient for big chain stores sell for that much or more!

You should check around on etsy to see if you can find a quilt similar to it with quilting like yours. That's how I like to price the things that I make that are for sale. I don't keep track of how much time is in anything.
