Just because they charge a price I wouldn't pay doesn't mean that it's too much. In fact, it probably doesn't cover the cost of the time at a fair rate of pay.
There are people who will pay, but you have to sell the idea by making the customer aware of the value you are adding to the quilt. Yes, you can have it quilted cheaper by machine using an overall design, but when you have something hand quilted, you are creating an heirloom. Heirlooms aren't cheap.
