Hello I'm MrsM

Hi from Mass. I agree about pricing, someone told me I could have sold a bag up here in Boston for $80. But in PA where my brother lives I can't see how it would sell at that price. Not that our time is worth less, just what the market supports. My opinion is that things are WAAAAY overpriced here. Beautiful quilt! and welcome to the board.

Hello and welcome to the Quilting Board.
Pricing your own work can be tricky. There are a few ways to look at it. If you feel that this is a hobby that you would do regardless of getting paid, then getting your material costs and a bit more is enough. If you are 'working' at making quilts, then don't be afraid to ask for money for all the time you put in.
That's my two cents.

Hello and welcome from central Alabama. I have never sold my quilts, so can't say for sure. I would keep a record of how much you spent for supplies and hours spent working on it. Allow at least minimum wage for your work. You can also see how much they go for on Ebay.
I must say, your quilt is beautiful!
