I agree, people do not have a clue of what it costs to make a quilt. When they find out the cost, they don't want to pay the price. My cousin wanted me to make a quilt for her. I told her that I would take the cost of the quilt and then double the cost and that is what I would charge. (Materials cost 150 so I would charge 300 total) I thought I was giving it away at that cost. She has never brought up the subject again. I think she was figuring I would just do it for the cost of the materials. I don't know anyone who has made a living on making quilts. People do not want to pay the value of the quilt. How sad it that!
