I can't answer for your area, but for me it would be too much. Most people around me don't understand all the work involved in quilting, and just have a fit when I give them a price. Some areas can get more money and I sincerely hope yours is one of those areas. If you aren't comfortable with what you can get, tell the customer that your time is valuable too and you would rather not make their quilt. "NO" is always an option. I too, would much rather make quilts for me and the family. I had a family friend ask me yesterday about a price for a full size quilt. I told her it wouldn't be less than $350 and possibly more depending on pattern and final size requirements (those extra thick mattresses can turn a full size into a queen size). She hemhawed around and finally told me that was too much. Not a problem, I don't work for free for anyone but me!
