The Amish site was an eye opener and very informative. Thanks for the link! I'm not sure how to tell you to charge for a commissioned quilt but I'm sure there isn't a quilter on this site who actually charges what they are worth! Think about what we pay other "professionals" in our lives.....the electrician, the plumber, the mechanic and then move on to the MD, the lawyer etc and...well you get the picture. As a RN with 25yrs experience, I haven't worked for less than $25/hr for years and currently am at >$32/hr. IMHO....my time is worth as much off the job as it is on the job....just saying.
