When making a quilt for someone ( exp. pieced quilt ) This would depend on the size of the quilt. A charge of $8-$10.00 an hour seems reasonable. They would have to provide the materials. Applique would be more expensive as it is more time. So, price it accordingly. You could figure it so much per block. I'd definately get a deposit of half for the labor before I start the quilt. This is usually how it is charged in our area. Different areas are more. Hope this helps. Remember you have to cut it out to which takes time. But the customer definately provides, thread, fabric, backing and batting.
