this is why I really dis-like making baby/kids quilts- you really need to charge more than most people are really willing to pay. I have made a few- for a while everyone wanted me to make a game quilt for them- I could not find a way to make one for less than $150 - but felt bad having to charge so much- some people still wanted them and paid- but I find it stressful so I try to avoid the situation. now if I make a baby/kids quilt for a gift before I wrap it up I decide (just in case) what it would take for me to make another one- *hours spent, materials, quilting* - decide on a price (generally somewhere between $150 & $200) and if it's one I really don't want to make again I will double that-just to ward off the request...sometimes I make a really great quilt that I really hope to never make again.
