Per running foot of bound quilt seems like a good place to start. What would you think of 15 cents per running foot? That would be $30 for a 50" by 50" baby quilt. Hmm, seems like too much. Maybe a dime per running foot, which would be $20 for that dimension baby quilt.
I love to do the binding and figure .35 per inch is fair. They need to supply washed or unwashed material (their choice), for the binding.
