I dont make quilts with the intention of selling but have sold several that were shown at quilt shows. I always get my price. Heres how I price them. I figure up yardage including backing and binding at current prices and triple that. Even if I got the fabric on sale or using fabric left from another project. Then I add in actual price of batting, long arming and embellishments. (usually crystals if any). For example if I use 15 yards of fabric @ $10 (or more now days) that would be $450. Then lets say $25 for batting, $150 long arming, $50 for crystals if any.. Adds up fast. I never sell a quilt for less than what is calculated. I sell enough to pay for my habit. All the ones I sell are quilted by check!
