Love this thread as my sister recently asked me about pricing quilts for sale. A friend of hers makes and sells craft items at New York City Craft shows and wants my sister to join her with some baby quilts. I gave my sister the same basic advice given here. One thing I did stress was to have several simple designs and sell her quilts 'as is'. Many times customers like a certain quilt but want it in another colorway. That never seems to work out because when they see the quilt in their colors somehow it isn't what they expected and don't buy it.

When figurig your fabric costs I think you should always use the top price you are paying for fabrics. Don't skip the fabric charge because you happened to have the fabrics in your stash, you paid money for those fabrics when you first bought them. May in Jersey
