That's one of the prettiest quilts I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing. Wish I could help on the pricing but I am clueless.

Whatever you charged for the laptop, triple it. Much more work in a queen size plus more batiks.
Good luck, Kutnso

All I know is 400 to 500 is not enough.

The center area with the very light colored batiks is actually pieced as well with 8" blocks. Each of those blocks contains 4 pieces, so there are several different background batiks in the top. So the quilt is actually both appliqued and pieced, although the piecing is very simply done. When I was working on this, I would usually do 3 - 4 leaves a night, so maybe 30-45 minutes per leaf (for the larger ones)? I'm pretty obsessive about how I do things so am probably slower than most others. These are all hand cut as well with scissors.
I agree with the others who say $1200 to $1400.

Beautiful quilt! I don't have any idea as to how to charge though. Sorry.

beautiful quilt. you do wonderful work. Most people price about 3 to 4 times the cost of the materials. So the quotes on the high end would be right. Good luck

Absolutely an artistic delight. I think 1500 with shams would be a bargain. 2000 is more like it. People certainly price their paintings at much more than the cost of supplies times 3 or 4. You are an artist!

Gorgeous quilt, but I don't have a clue how much to charge.
