Well if you look at the prices for longarm quilting you can see where the the price could get very high, but I agree $1200 t0 $1400 is excessive. I do not think $400 for queen or $500 for king is excessive. By the time you buy quality fabrics, spend hours of your time and pay for quilting if you don't quilt yourself it is not unreasonable. Unfortunately I can't find people who want to pay that much for a quilt when they can buy a slave labor quilt cheaper than a comforter. They just do not understand the difference in quality. And most of the people who do are quilters themselves. I give away most of my quilts as gifts and hope the people I give them to understand what I am giving is not just a fabric but a labor of love.
