Price of this quilt???
I'm wanting opinions for the price of this quilt. I have never sold one before.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]534139[/ATTACH]
It is about 60"x72". I call it a lap/nap quilt. This is not a pieced top - just a piece of fabric with the fleece backing. I have about $10 in it. Plus several hours of work. I want to be fair but would like a little for the hours of work I have in it. Any suggestions?

how many hours of work? what kind of quilting will be involved with it?
are you custom quilting it, or just free motion. You'd charge a lot less
because it's not pieced, just a printed piece of fabric. I think we need more information
on the quilt before giving you a price.

Sorry, this is not the finished product. I quilted on all the squares diagonally so it looks pieced. They are 3" squares. My time spent - cutting to size, adding borders, pinning together, quilting diagonally, mitering corners (that was a bugger), self binding with the fleece. I knew it took a good share of a week but I don't keep track of the hours. I can't stay at the quilting part for a long period of time. I didn't expect to sell this one.

Just a rough guess, $40-$50 maybe. You need to determine what your time is worth. Some people don't keep track of time & just triple their materials cost, you said you have about $10 into.... Charge what seems fair/ reasonable to you considering the circumstances that have caused you to be selling it
