Very true. I guess I was saying I would not expect it to bleed.

I remember from a marketing class I attended once stated that rule of 3.
1. Cost of materials
2. Labor
3. Profit = Total price

Materials $20.00 + Labor $20.00 + Profit $20.00

In a sentence triple the cost of materials

This has worked for me

You might want to do research on fabric stores online that may have some quilts for sale. I have known a few quilt shops owners, and their samples rarely sold for the price they should have. I use to quilt for others on my Bernina 1530 over a decade ago, and I charge $8 an hour. I kept track of my time signing in and out on an index card. Good Luck !

Maybe I read the original post incorrectly, but I thought she meant pricing the quilt itself at .03 per square in. Her fabric, her batting, her piecing, her backing and her quilting.

Yes, GrannieAnnie, you interpreted my post correctly. That was what I meant.

Locally I would have to pay $84.00 to have all over quilting done, nothing fancy. This is 1.5 cents an inch. I'd probably pay 1cent for straight line quilting.
