Default Charge to Make a Queen Quilt

I have never made a T-Shirt Quilt but a friend of a friend wants me to make one for them. They will furnish all of the materials needed and pay me to piece the top and tie it together. I will be responsible for:

1) cutting out and stabilizing the t-shirt blocks - 5 hrs
2) cutting the fabric and adding a border around each individual block as well as the finished top - 4 hrs
3) machine piecing the blocks together - 2 hrs
4) machine binding the quilt - 1 hr
5) tie the top and back together - 2 hrs

I estimate around 14 hrs @ $8 per hour for a total cost of about $112. Since I have never kept up with the hours I spend making a quilt is 14 hours a reasonable estimate of time for the average quilter to make a big block quilt? Is charging $8 per hour a reasonable charge for making a big block quilt?

I want to be fair to both myself and the individual wanting the quilt made so any advise you can give me will really be appreciated.

Thanks in advance or your help.
