Looked at fabric and pretty much made up my mind about what to get along with a pattern. Cost for all material and batting between 250 and three hundred dollars. Don't know what to charge for labor. Wasn't planning on a full size quilt though. Thought I could get off a bit cheaper. Any suggestions on what to charge for labor before I throw a price at her and put her into shock?
I'm still in shock over how much it costs to make quilts. The twin size rag quilt I just made used 3 layers of flannel. It is a gift and I know they have no idea of the cost involved. If I didn't love doing it, I just wouldn't even consider it.
