Thread: what would you charge a client for this...

It is lovely so sorry about your trouble though

I will agree that the quilt is beautiful and worth every nickle you asked. So... I will give you some advise (maybe bad). Tell her she has 3 options
1. pay the $126 immediately
2. stall payment and pay interest until she does. (1.5% /mo)
3. you will give her back a quilt with a $126 rotary cut discount.

I'm sure I would not take it like a farmer and agree to someone else's price especially with a written contract in hand.

Your quilt is BEAUTIFUL. I read all the comments and this lady is way out of line! I would definitely stick to the original agreement as the least I would accept - charge her a nuisance fee - lol Please don't give it to her for $60 - that is outrageous. Who does she think she is anyway!?!?!?

Good luck, and be sure to let us all know how this turns out.

You did a beautiful job on the quilt, and it will easily sell to someone for a good price if you offer it for sale. No way would I cave in and let it go for $60.00. Anybody who quilts, or anybody who appreciates beautiful, nicely made goods can look at it and know it's value. Stand your ground!

I agree whole heartedly with PaperPrincess. It is beautiful. This person does not deserve to own such a work of art if she won't pay the agreed price. Keep it, or gift it!

I had the same thing kind of happen to me. got a request for a quilt then when it was finished they didnt want to pay.... so needless to say I kept it for myself .

wow! This is absolutely beautiful and you are very kind to do all that work for $126. I am sorry the client doesn't see it that way. I hope she comes to understand how hard you worked and you will get your asking price, because it is worth far more than $126!

Please let us know how this turns out for you.

I can't believe she wouldn't want this, being that it's her grandfather's fabric. I'm sorry this happened to you, the piece shows alot of work !
