Rag Quilters :)
 

For those of you who make rag quilts, what would or do you charge?

I've had 2 people in the last 3 days ask me what I would charge. The 1st person wants 2 of them, she would be providing the fabric for both - king and queen sizes. The 2nd one, I'll provice the fabric for a twin size. I have no idea what to charge for each. Need advice please.

TIA,

Sharon

Hmm, good question. I've seen them on Etsy from $200 to $450 for queen and king. Average for twin is $175
You have to keep in mind how many squares you'll be cutting and clipping. I would do $200 for the queen/king since they are supplying the fabric (batting too?) and $175 for the twin.

I'm not really sure though, hopefully someone else can chime in who has sold them.

I would price them around what they do on etsy. That's how I figure most of my prices. I've never made a big one like that. That is alot of cutting!!!

Thank you both. I will check etsy out. :)

It sounds like a lot of cutting. The only rag quilt I made was a log cabin. I didn't use any batting, just the 2 layers of flannel. I hope you can make enough to pay you for your labor.:thumbup:

I don't use batting either.

I use 3 layers of flannel and a king/queen size would be a real workout to clip that monster...I would charge at least 200 with materials supplied on them and if I was supplying the fabrics on the twin it would be at least 200 ..possibly more depending on the costs of the fabrics

I can't help you with the pricing, but my hands hurt just thinking about it! I made my sick older brother one made out of denim and barely got him covered before my hands died. Won't do another....

Be sure and get proper scissors with spring action!

I'd see what size blocks they want. I use my accuquilt 8in rag cutter and it makes life so much easier. I make different ones a head of time and then when I need a quilt I go thru my stack to get the right pattern and color and join them and I'm done. Very easy and simple
