when people ask me about making them a quilt i generally reply- a queen starts at $350 & goes up from there- .
Wow, IMHO you are giving them away. I have told people that most don't want to pay me what I need. A queen size takes about 9 yards for the backing, at $10/yard = $90 then there is the top fabrics another $100 add in the binding, thread and batting. I would have to send out for the quilting to be done and that would be over $100......so my guestimate would be about $600 or 700.
