Hi Pamluvs2quilt,
Leslee's advice to make smaller quilts so there won't be such a large time and materials investment makes perfect sense.
At the same time, I'm wondering what your price would be if you used the square foot method? Not trying to be nosy about it, but I'm thinking: while you wouldn't make a whole stack of large quilts to find they're more expensive than folks are willing to pay, maybe it would be worth making just one large piece, and pricing it by the sq ft, to see what happens?
Just a thought!
