Hi, I just finished my second t-shirt quilt, I didn't charge anything as it was a gift for graduation. But I was told by my long arm quilter that it is not unusual to charge $20 to $30 dollars a block... that should take into consideration everything including your time or at least part of your time. Also I was going to do the stitch in the ditch but again was told to do some time of quilting within the block, because sometimes the t-shirt will separate from the stabilizer. So when I quilted it I just did some type of meandering all over. The young gal loved it and took it to graduation practice and now everyone wants one... I did tell her I would consider doing one for her teacher.... for a price. I am putting in a picture I hope it comes through. I hope this info helped you.
