What would you consider charging?
I made a baby quilt for the daughter-in-law of a good friend. At the shower everyone loved the quilt to the point where a neighbor asked me how much I would charge to make one for her to give her son and daughter-in-law for their baby girl coming in August. The request took me back a bit and the only thing I could say was that the fabrics were expensive and I don't know how much time I had in making the quilt. Another neighbor chipped in and confirmed that the fabrics are expensive, they were 30s and in our area normally run from $9.95-11.50 a yard. I discussed this with a seasoned quilting friend of mine and with the cost of fabrics ranging around 35-45 dollars, I thought $85 total would be fair. My husband overheard the conversation and thought I should charge no-less than $100 because my time is worth more than my first estimate. What do you think? The quilt I made was 38x42 inches.
