WOW!! What a beautiful quilt. Lots of work put into it. Don't have any idea on how to price it.

Absolutely beautiful. We never get value for our time. It`s your call. I would say $800.00. but again I`m not seeing the quilt, only a picture. Good Luck

at that rate, wanna make me a queen sized quilt? i'll pick that pattern :mrgreen: :mrgreen:.

NEVER undervalue yourself.
edit to add: she was very foolish not to know a steal when it was offered to her. she could obviously afford to have quilts custom made and she should have worked out a payment plan or pay-as-you-go kind of thing with you. her loss.

$1200 at least just for the quilt. The shams would be extra. Your quilt is beautiful.

Since you all ready have a buyer go with $1,400 if she is uncomfortable with that you can always go down. I agree that what we want to charge and what someone would pay is usually a lot different. I charge for the material,batting plus at at least $3.50 a square foot for a simple pattern and up as the pattern is more timely in making it.

Word of mouth is the best advertising. I suggest, based on prices I see at quilt shows and taking into consideration that this is a repeat customer, asking $800 - $1000. And explain that it would normally cost $1200 - $1400 but that because of her repeat business and you appreciate her business, you are giving her a break. Anyone else would pay more. JMHO. Don't sell yourself short - you are an artist. Don't know your area or the economy so I may be way off base.

Quick story - A friend of mine had sent his quilt to the LA. She called him when it was done and told him she had a customer interested in his quilt and what would he sell it for. He really didn't want to sell it so he said $1600. The customer came the next day and dropped of a check. Now he has to put the binding on and he's a happy camper. He said he could always make another one.

The pillow shams are a LOT of work too, almost like making another quarter of the quilt to do two shams.

You should charge
amount of time X $15.00 hr + cost of materials = $

You could "guestimate" the amount of time from the lap size that you have already made. I think your price (if you figure it this way) will be much higher than the suggestions I've seen posted. The above "formula is used for "replacement of quilt" (insurance) appraisals. I don't know how it is figured if you wanted to "sell" a quilt, but the final figure would be much lower. Hope this helps. And will be curious to know what you decide to charge, if you will be posting that information???

This is a beautiful quilt. The lady has purchased from you before and so knows the quality of work you produce.Besides cost of fabric etc. and time, I think you should add in most of all your creativity. This is not a bedspread and it is not anything you would ever find in a store.

A lot of people could not afford this quilt, but I will tell you there a many, many that could-it is not right to deny people with money the right to buy lovely quilts!

I think the members of this very knowledgeable board are steering you in the right direction--$1200-$1500.

quilts!
