figure out how much time you have into it then decide how much your time is worth...then adjust that to what you think is fair to both of you- i charge $20 an hour for sewing...i also have quilting fees- if i am making a quilt for someone who has supplied the materials (very seldom) we decide if it will be charged by the hour or by the project- pricing is discussed, agreed on and a deposit is paid with the balance due upon completion.
He is a close friend of mine and since I am a new quilter and wanted experience on this type of quilt he said that he has always wanted a quilt made so I offered to make one, he will basically pay whatever I ask, I just wanted to get an idea on whats fair and whats not since this is my very 1st t-shirt quilt I didn't want to over charge him
