I love to make quilts for others, but hate having to figure pricing. It is almost a given that you won't get what you really deserve when you take into consideration all the time spent buying fabrics, piecing, sandwiching and quilting. I figure a cost of materials (ballpark) and add an amount for labor that seems reasonable. Usually 1-1/2 to 2 times the cost of materials. Anything more and the people of my area won't even consider a quilt. I know it isn't what you can get in other areas, but it keeps me quilting and gives me some pocket money.
