The pattern calls for 5-1/2 yards of fabric, including backing. I buy fabrics on sale, about 5-6.00 a yard...I would figure $40 for fabric, $15 for batting, $10 for thread ($65.00 in materials).
This Carpenter's Star is basically 6-1/2" half square triangles and solid squares. Not a difficult quilt to piece and quilt. I would figure 10 hours total time (and that's pretty generous).
$150 to $170 is what I would charge for this quilt (semi custom quilting).
I like these in batiks...and those can be bought on sale for under $7 a yard.

Colors requested are burgundy, gold and cream, it would be made as directed for the completed size.
What would be the charge for this quilt, I would quilt it with a simple meander pattern.
I do not make custom anything, to put a price on it, please any help is most welcome to see if this is something I really want to take on and do.
I make small scrap quilts for charity and am now at wits end about doing this.
My siding guy is the one who has asked to make it as he saw my quilting machines and fabrics. Just got hit today with the additional amount that will be due him for labor on the job. I do not have the colors he wants, have a throw pillow for fabric matching but not coming up with anything. Really do not want to have to go out and buy the fabrics, a special trip to the city.
I know those that do not make quilts think they are free for the asking.
Help!
