The costs do add up, but for the most part I ignore that--buy fabrics on sale, etc. I finished a quilt for my sister as a thank you and it was easily $250 for materials and long arm quilting. She loves it and I was pleased to do something for her in exchange for a month of her time helping me after surgery.
I am glad I am not selling quilts --I think it would be difficult to get out of them what you have invested, even without counting your time. I will be in trouble if my kids ever decide "enough is enough" :>)
