Just sent a 'jar' quilt to the LA so let me see...34 (1.2 yd)pieces at 4.50 per piece - $153. The field fabric another $26 and then the backing another $33. Thread say $5. And then roughly 100 hours (on and off for a month). That is roughly $217 for materials + $200 to quilt and @$7 per hour would be $700 so it looks like a little over $1100. Really it is enough fabric for about 3 quilts when I get done but for me it is worth every penny. ****Just wanted to add that this is pretty pricey but that is what I get going to the LQS and hanging out one afternoon. I could have gotten by a lot cheaper but I was determined to use only RJR fabrics for this one. I had never limited myself to the higher quality fabric but I did this time. I can't afford to make this a habit but for this one quilt it is worth it. I will post photos once it comes back and I bind it. It is really a unique quilt and very different from what I normally do.
