Hi JennR8R, my husband and I are long armmers and we charge $0.03 for custom quilting which we charge by the square inch. If you take 55 and multiply it by 75, it equals $125.40 and then 47 multiply by 47, it equals $66.27 and when you add them together you get $191.67 so your $200 would be very close to what she would charge you. Now taking into consideration she kept them a year, I would say she should charge you half of the normal charge so if you sent her $100, it would be more than fair. The longest my husband and I have ever kept a quilt was a month. it was a very detailed custom with lots of cross hatch throughout. Your work is very is very nice and you should be proud of your creation.
