A person who is not a craftsman/woman would have no clue what a fair price would be. My husband is a carpenter (started in education as a building trades teacher before admin). He built us a one of a kind 5 piece corner entertainment center. Based on design, materials,time would price it at least $11,000 if commissioned to build one. Many people don't know the difference between veneers, solid wood, types of wood and their values etc. Quilting is the same. Many don't understand differing material qualities, labor values and all things included in final price. Always settle on costs ahead of delivery, be fair to yourself and potential customers. Experience and ability are important in determining cost also.
