    I would charge $10-15 per shirt. 9 shirts - small quilt $90. 25 shirts - big quilt $375. Go with the $10 if its a straight set no sash no border. $15 with sashing and borders (I like a nice little scrappy 4 patch as cornerstones)

    If you do it for free, what you are saying is your work has no value. Gifts are one thing but if they ask you for it its not a gift.

    I made one for a friend and kept track of the hours it took me. I took her shopping for the fabric I used in sashing, binding, and the back, and had her pay for that and the batting and thread. There were 32 tshirts, so it ended up rather large. I did quilt it in the ditch on my home machine and added a hanging sleeve just in case. I charged the ridiculously low rate of $10 an hour for a total of $320. I won't do it again as it was boring, but she was very happy with the result. And I ended up with a lot of rags (what was left of the tshirts) which I'm still using today.
