If any of you read my post in "Dropping the F-word", you know I do have trouble actually completing a project, but I did take on a commissioned quilt a few years ago. One of the guys I worked with wanted me to make one for his wife who was a big Nascar fan. It was for a "Dale Earnhardt Jr" quilt to fit a hospital bed, so it was close to a twin size. I charged $250 for it... I didn't really figure the cost of my time or materials as such - I just figured that THAT was enough money to keep me on track to get it done in a timely manner! I think finding the right red/orange color to go with the DE Jr fabric was the hardest part. The quilt was a single Irish Chain with simple machine quilting, I liked the way it came out & he & his wife loved it.
I read something once that showed how much a quilt would cost if we charged our time at minimum wage - Tim isn't far off! lol
