I use top quality material and they are willing to pay the price. Maybe I will feel better once I have given them the estimate and find out their reaction. Which I am sure it will be to make the quilt :D :D
As you said in your first sentence, I think often we women, especially, have trouble valuing our own worth. They obviously value your quilting talent/art since they chose you to make a very special quilt for them. I am sure you will feel better once you talk to them about your estimate and they will be thrilled! You know you are being honest so just go for it and try to enjoy the process. You are worth it.
