The normal price here is width times length divided by 1296 to find total square yard and that times the design. Simple design $16.00, basic $18.00, Detailed $24.00 per square yard. Binding is extra at $5.75 per linear yard. Plus the price of thread at around $8.00 per spool. So you are pretty low on your price.

I will send my quilt tops to you if you charge that little. Boy, what a deal!

You want to be one of my customers? I will make up a overall pattern to match your quilt for that amount of money. I usually charge $.015 for overall and any custom goes up from there, depending on how much I like doing it and if I ever want to get another quilt from this person. Binding is on top of that. I ususally charge $.10 per inch (hand finished).

This was supposed to quote the on quilter on the first page who paid a very large for the queen size overall.

My sil's aunt used to hand quilt and she charged $100 a top and had no trouble keeping customers.

I agree it is low but using it as a family price and showing the work to others may bring you work that will pay. Part of it is if you do this to be busy but your time is valuable too.

Sounds like this lady is just happy to have something to do!

One of the reason why the prices may be so different is the pay scales in different states...

$65 is a bit low but it is an almost relative.
