I think i might start with seeing how much embroidery goes for these days. It is usually, or used to be, priced by the letter. I don't feel like the 50-75 range is near enough.

I did 2 rememberance quilts out of silk ties. The worst part was trying to cut them into strips. Anyway they were 42" sq and i charged $250 a piece. I did buy supplies out of that, which was batting, thread and the fabric to make the lite side of the log cabin and the backing.

I was wondering myself how much to charge and boy did I rip myself off. I went for double the materials and it was a complicated baby quilt. I now know better thanks ladies. :()

I would have her buy the fabric and thread...then charge her
$ 30.00 for making it.. that is my thought, I know it's worth more for your time , but it's your brothers friend ..and that way she can see what it cost just to buy the fabric..

PS: I love your work it is worth a lot, but like I said it's a friend of your brothers, if she was just someone asking you to make it, I still would like them to get the fabric and thread then charge for doing it, it also what size it is, as to charge for that ..I am making a lap quilt with a pillow and a bag to carry it, the set will cost
$ 240.00 a set...as I own a campground , so I can display them for sale.. it's a shot ..

I've told my siblings that I would make a quilt for each of them. They only need to purchase the fabric. Nobody has taken me up on it yet! I wonder why?

I always thought the rule was double the amount of the cost of materials. Everyone here seems to say 3x's the amount. Guess I've been charging a lot less.

So pretty - love the cardinals. Good the other one wants flowers, etc. though. Thanks for the interesting factor with which to figure the charge.. I'll remember that, too.
