What are the correct measurements of quilts?
King,queen, full, twin and a lap blanket? How would you price for each of these? I know it would depend on how much work involved and material cost. Just on an average base what would you charge?

Here is alittle information someone posted awhile back. As for pricing, that varies as much as the area you live in, how much the market in your area will withstand and where you are selling it. I always found there is no way to recoup your expenses when selling quilts, other than the satisfaction of doing it because you love it. Some charge price of fabric x 3, that seems to be the standard in my area. Good luck!

The chart I have is.....
Twin 63 x 87
Full 78 x 87
Queen 84 x 92
King 100 x 92

Hope this helps, as far as pricing I really don't know

I've used this also, but when I make them for my beds, I want them a bit larger, especially the king.

As for pricing, you should certainly expect to recoup the cost of the materials. Then, try to figure out the time you put in to it. Choosing fabric, washing and ironing fabric, and of course all of the cutting and sewing. Keep track of your time, you will be amazed. If you use the materials x 3, you will be only giving your labor materials x 2. So, $100 in materials = $200 in labor. What is your labor worth? I don't think x 3 is adequate, unless you are making very basic tied quilts. In some markets, you could only sell small tied quilts made of inexpensive fabrics. In other markets, you can do much better. I think I would scope out the market and work from there. If you can get $1,000 for a quilt, get good fabric and figure out your labor costs- a much nicer quilt than the $200 version.
