the only quilt I have ever sold was to a friend of my husband. It was a raggedy quilt, generous size lap quilt. I only had $30 invested in it. I told him he could buy one from China for $50 to $85 but he said he prefered one that someone he knew had made. I charged $75. Didn't want to sell it to low in case he told anyone......the price of material goes up and I had got a bargain on material for that quilt. But I agree with everyone else most people don't have a clue what material, batting, thread ect costs let alone paying for your time and skill. Always set a price you are comfortable with if they are willing to pay great if not let them buy elsewhere. So many things to factor in, location for one very important thing. I think making quilts is something we just love to do and most of us would rather give them away than to be underpaid and under appreciated!
