I would encourage you to keep a log. It might be good information for you later. The time and supplies add up faster than we realize. It cost you to quilt, even if you do not pass those cost on to your customer. You might do a logsheet template before you start so you can just jot on it as you go.

Because we have toys to pull from we forget we paid/have to pay for these things and cut ourselves short. Those who do not quilt do not realize the cost involved. I really surprised myself when I started logging. I must have more money than I realize because I put some $$$$'s into a quilt.
You do too. Keeping a log will tell you if you were fair to yourself.
