I had a quilt done for my DS for his birthday a couple of years ago. At that time my cousins wife did it for me and charged me $125.00 which I thought was a very good price.
Tonight the DH and I were talking about it and DH said you paid her that for two hours work?
I told him it takes a lot longer than two hours to do a quilt. (I put the border on. Ok, I like doing borders) I supplied the top, backing. She supplied the batting and the thread and the quilting time.
SO...I guess my question is..when you start on a quilt, putting it together, getting in on the machine and doing the stiching..how long does it take you in actual quilting time?
DH is usually pretty reasonable on most things, but I can't get him to understand how much goes into doing this.
Don't want to put anyone on the spot, but... Thanks for your answers.
