What value would you list?

I was told by one of my quilting teachers that take just the value of the fabric and double it to figure the value, when I asked how to figure the value of a quilt I made for a raffle. You can't include labor.

I have only been quilting for about 1 1/2 years and only been on this board since July so I need help!
If you're wanting a price to quote to the charity, you could figure on:
quilting - two cents a square inch - $96
fabric - 4 yds front and back - 8 yds at $10 - $80
batting - $12
That's $188. If you add in what it would cost to buy hand cross-stitched blocks on ebay that's probably another $30 to $50.

What is the value of this quilt needed for? For the people who are having the raffle so they know the value of what they are raffling? or for the person who donated the quilt so they can deduct it on their tax? These would definitely be different amounts.

I would say $250 to $300...I understand it is for non profit and the value listed needs to be what you would sell it for...nothing to do with taxes. You did a great job and I am sure will be a blessing to whoever gets it.. :D :-P
