i have done a couple repair jobs on baby quilts someone wanted to preserve to pass on...i charge $20 an hour sewing time plus materials...one of them was $120 by the time i got it all done (and it was small, 40x55) but the lady had no problem with the cost, she was thrilled, said she never imagined it could turn out so well and is giving it to her son (whom it belonged to as a baby) for his first child. it had been made by his grandmother...and was quite a rag when it was brought to me. i thought...why bother, throw it away and go buy a new one...but that's just me...it took some work but turned out to be worth it.
