Let's just put a little math to it. Let's say you can make one baby quilt a week. That's 40 hours and you really should make minimum wage. So that's 290.00. Plus the cost of fabric, batting and thread. Quilt shop fabric is running at least $10 a yard these days and a baby quilt should take around 3.5 to 4 yards of fabric and we'll add another $20 for the batting and thread. So that's $60 dollars for materials cost plus your $290. for labor. So your baby quilt is already up to $350. And he hasn't added his cut yet.
That's way too expesive for a baby quilt so the cost needs to be cut. Guess what gets cut? Labor costs.
