Your quote was absolutely, positively not too high, in fact I think it was conservative. I have made and sold quilts to friends, and I only charged them for the materials, however, these were very dear friends of mine, so I just wanted the cost of materials back. I once showed off a commission quilt I'd made for one of my best friends at a Weight Watcher's meeting, as a couple members were also quilters. After they oohed and aahed over it a woman came up to me and asked what it would cost if I made her one. I immediately said $400, she looked surprised, then walked away. The quilt was both appliqued, pieced and paper pieced, it was a lot of work as I had ripped out the center appliqued log cabin because I didn't like it. It now hangs off a railing on the second floor of her huge log cabin home and she proudly tells anyone who comments that her best friend made it. I charged her only enough to cover most of my materials, as it was also partly a log cabin home warming present. I'd say the guy was hoping to get it for nothing, as $75 is practically nothing. I would have told him to go to Wal-Mart or one of the other dept. stores and find an inexpensive quilt there.
