the quilt is 80"x80".
I'm charging her 150.00
Is this too much or too little?
I am taking her money situation as well...
Sounds like you're really only charging her $43. Or is $150 on top of being reimbursed for the cost of materials? It depends on how you feel about not making very much money. If you're just doing to as a favor, but want her to feel like she's paying you, that's fine. I often do things and don't charge very much, but tell them - DON'T TELL ANYONE WHERE YOU GOT THIS! - so I'm not inundated with "jobs" from friends of friends of friends who want a quilt made as cheaply as the one they heard about! :)
