Just joining, but seems the direction I was leaning in has already been covered.

A stroll thru local quilt shops is of immense help. I did that when I moved near the Lancaster, PA area. Beautiful handmade work carries a price and those that know quilts know the prices to expect.

When starting out fresh, the prices seem outrageous or in no way reflect proper compensation. Don't be shy about the commitment you made to your project. I was just on a site that I saw a quilt priced at $10,000.00!!

Another thought, never feel you have to justify your prices by all the explanations as to time, effort, materials and so forth. You need to be compensated satisfactorily for your work.
