Mine would be the Kittie t-shirt quilt. Not even out of the supply gathering process. I have spent a good $170 so far and is going to be about 80x80 so it wins the title of being the most expensive AND the biggest quilt worked on thus far. Its even bigger than the Zelda sea map wall hanging I have planned, which is colossal being that it will be a wall hanging. Was making it as a Christmas present for a boyfriend, but we ended up breaking up. Luckily I love Kittie (more than he ever will) and my new boyfriend likes Kittie and other metal music so its not a total loss. Except I don't have a deadline on it now.

My biggest was a king size - made of microfiber with fleece as the batting. It was 18" (or 12") can't remember and I made it all on my dinky Brother machine. I stitched in the ditch and it all sounds so simple, but, it was my second quilt and I really didn't know what I was in for with that stretchy microfiber. I also set the blocks on point, so that added to the challenge. It was "fun" dragging it through the machine to quilt. It felt ginormous. I guess it was. Now my son tells me it is "too heavy" and he needs a lighter weight one. Oy. (PS -and it wasn't cheap either. Even with a big JoAnn coupon it cost almost $200)

My 1st quilt was a K size,as was maybe 4 others & one yet to be sent to the LA quilter.
Maybe that's why I'm not into bed size quilts anymore.
I prob had the most money in a Q size quilt with pillow shams,3 toss pillows & a framed block to match for DD.Chocolate brown & white....her choice
It's not the fabric that gets me, it's the price of my machines & all the books/patterns & notions. Whew....don't even want to know :-) :-)

A Grandma's Garden queen size quilt, that I hand pieced, and machine quilted, that seemed to take forever years to complete. :D

I'm curious as to what kind of quilts you made. Cause that's a lot of dollars.

Probably the album anniversary quilt for my parents. It's completely hand-quilted but machine pieced. They were thrilled and I loved doing all that quilting for my Mom and Dad :) It was a labor of love that I would only do for them or my kids.
The most expensive was a Jinny Beyer 12 month quilt class and all her fabric. Yikes! And I'm not even done. I really love it though. Probably will machine quilt it or have someone else long arm it. Still not done spending on that one lol

I made and 118 inch square Rocky Road to California fo my DSIL when he graduated from the Air Force Acadameny. I hand quilted it. Took me four months. DD and SIL kept telling me how cold it was in Davis, CA before I got it finished. I have no idea what the cost was.
