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
You are surely underestimating your own worth. There is no reason for you to feel "guilt". Your friends must recognize the quality of your work and would probably question their choice if you suddenly made them a quilt for a Walmart price.
Just look around, people still do pay for outstanding work.
By the way, I just sold a queen sized original quilt for $1500.00. I gave them one price quote and they were glad to get it at that price.
Happy stitching,
Karen
