such as...i charge $65 for a (base price) for a twin-kids quilt...if you are a close friend/family member- that is what you would pay--
if the quilt is for sale- and i have no idea who may buy it it is $125----if it is a lot of work---expensive/time consuming it may be more- but that's the average.

when someone asks- what would you charge me to make a queen size quilt? i start with..."a queen size quilt starts at $250 and goes up from there- what did you have in mind?"
everyone is different as far as what to charge and why---it is different when a person is supplying everything you need- and if you are not concerned with really (making money) charge your friends what ever you think is fair.
