Unless they are wall hangings, you WAY under-valued your time! Hand quilting is very time consuming and I think you are going to be working for less than a penny an hour! As a long-arm quilter, I charge $0.015 per square inch for an easy E2E design that I can usually get finished in a day or less. You should figure out how long it takes you to quilt 12" square inches, pay yourself $15-20 an hour, and price your quilting that way. Hand work is under-valued and under paid, but oh so beautiful when done well!
