Question Opinions on repair pricing

I have repaired a few old quilts for people, these are not heirloom quality, but do mean a lot to the individuals. Usually a quilt used and abused and then they realize they can't get another just like it. Anyway, I have set my price at $8 per hour plus materials. I just finished repairing a queen sized quilt that had some diamonds totally gone, which I replaced, and quilted, then I applied a new binding by hand (front and back), leaving the original intact to maintain original workmanship. This quilt was originally hand made throughout. Anyway, I have more than 16 hours of work in this quilt which will amount to $120 for labor. This seems really high to me. What is everyone's opinion on this?
