I have given amounts similar and they may say, I can go to ?? and get one for this amount. Well then what are you waiting on? China will appreciate your business! Most often though I just tell them I don't take orders. I only make them on my time and dime.

When someone asks me ( what do you charge to make a queen sized quilt?) My general response is - ' they start at about $500 and go up from there, what did you have in mind?' If they seriously are interested in getting a quilt they ask more questions, discuss what they were thinking of, or, they sniff & walk away. Without knowing what pattern, design, size a person wants it is not possible to give an estimate
