Sounds right to me. I see quilts advertised at about double that.

Twin 72x90 $53.
Full 81x96 $58.
Queen 90x108 $69.
King 108x120 $86
I haven't checked around anywhere else. Mind you I live in west central WI in a small town.
We have parity with your dollar at the moment. Our prices on average are:
Twin: $100 - $150
Double: $150 - $250
Queen: $250 - $350
King: $350 - $500
I think I would send mine to the Mennonite people if I didn't do my own.

here in n.e.mississippi we have ammish, and mennonite, and you are getting one heck of a deal. i personally charge at min. .05 psi for quilting as well as charging for the batting, the thread used, the fabric...heck, i even charge for the sewing needles used per quilt.....of course, i do discount some from the total cost. if i were you,i would not complain at all...just take as many tops as you can...and consider those prices as manna from heaven. they must have a real quilting factory going to offer those prices!

You're making me drool. Up here it's not unusual to pay $200 to get a queen sized quilt longarm quilted.!!!
Canadian dollars of course, but right now it's almost on par with US.

with our economy tanking by the day-it is getting harder and harder to make money with quilting..you should see the looks i get when i explain my costs..many people here are so used to buying cheap goods from china that they are truly astonished when they find out the real costs of making american goods with american cotton etc...and i don't use a longarm. i use a midarm without the frame. i have a sign posted that says i will negotiate prices or make trades. when the financial world crashes to the bottom i guess i could charge 10lbs sugar and 10lbs flour for a full size quilt.

Please send me their contact information! I'm in Mississippi and wouldn't hesitate to ship tops to them at those prices.

DANG! I wish I lived near a Mennonite quilting shop! I'd be a good, regular customer.
