Fabulous quilt...love the leaves falling everywhere!!!!
Have no idea what to charge for quilts!

That is such a beautiful quilt! The leaves look like they have just fallen on the fabric and so real.. I could not begin to put a price on your work. I think maybe you should think about what you feel the customer could afford in comparison to what you feel your time is worth. Make sure to tell her what it could sell for elsewhere. See how she feels about what you have come up with. Just a suggestion.

Just thinking the same thing!

Same question! And I've seen the hand quilting on these -- so bad even I could do better!

Eddie, I love your quilt, as I do all your others. I wouldn't know what to charge, but the thousand-plus prices suggested are surely in the range for an original piece of art, which it is. Would anyone intending to purchase artwork question the price on a piece in an art gallery?

Edie - Your work is outstanding and if obsessiveness is responsible then so be it.
Batiks that are not on sale are $10 to $11 in my area [Boston, MS]. You have already made one of these quilts so the reward of doing it for the first time
won't be there, and it may feel more like a job to you. I would never take a job for $3.84/hr unless I were starving.
I looked at what Caryl Bryer Fallert charges for her quilts at Bryerpatch Studios and her prices range from $1600 for a log cabin variant up to $9000 and more for some of her really intricate pieces. She also does not offer shams.
I could not afford to spend that much on what is basically bedding, but your customer might be in a better financial position.
Give her a "quote" with a breakdown of fabric costs, time/leaf appliqué,
long-arm costs, etc. and then go for a high-end price, $1500 or more.
Negotiate with her so that if you do come down at all, she will feel that you
treated her with honesty and fairness. That is what most contractors do, and
then everyone feels that their issues have been dealt with. - Judy

In my area at least $1000.....probably more with the batiks and being appliqued.
I have not seen one like this for sale, $500 way low. Your color choices and level
of expertise make it worth more also. I am not sure I could part with it when done!! I just love it!

OMG! this is just spectacular! I agree with the 1200. Just tell her before you start to be sure she wants it for that.

Again, WOW!

You have to consider the cost of the materials. Then charge 4 times that amount. Then if you are going to LA add those charges. Then add the charges that are usually charged for binding. Add it up and see if you are happy with that amount.
Just my opinion.

$1500.00 and get half before you begin....
