Default Cheaper T-shirt Quilts?

I make t-shirt quilts and use premium materials. Kona cotton, Warm and Natural batting, printed quilting fabric, stabilizer, etc., but people don't want to pay for a nice quilt, they want cheap.

So, I have decided to offer a lower quality quilt, but still offer quality quilts for those who are willing to pay for them.

I need some advice on cutting costs. I selected a poly batting instead of the cotton batting, muslin fabric for the back instead for quality quilting fabric, I'm going to be using just a plain cheap 100% cotton for the sashing - found at my local fabric store and skipping using the stabilizer, also longarming the quilt in a bigger standard pattern.

I just worry about quality. Should I? I mean you get what you pay for right? I'm just giving them a choice. Thoughts?
