Nice work and it turned out beautiful. I've researched making t-shirt quilts and ones I found online charge a minimum of $300. There's nothing quilted other than SITD to hold the shirt squares in place.
I'm glad I read further into the posts to discover you will be paid $1100 for it. It's totally worth that price. People who appreciate the value of something handcrafted are wonderful customers.
I had a lady contact me from another state (saw my work at a local craft show) and paid me $200 plus shipping to make a small memory quilt of her mom's clothing. She wanted to give it to the great-grand-daughter. Nothing fancy in quilting and it was around 45 x 60. It's nice to be appreciated for your talent.

Ohhhhh GOOD! That finished the math equation and makes much more sense for all the work you put into that. I find the hardest part of a tee quilt is figuring out what to do with all the odd sizes. You do beautiful work.

I have a client who said she just wanted to throw some money at someone to make her college daughter a t-shirt quilt. I got a book and studied and told her I would do it. First time I ever documented How long it takes me to make a queen size quilt. It took 45 1/2 hours. She gave me $200. to get started, which it took all of that. Then $100. to get it quilted. She is super excited about the turn out and so am I! I hope this doesn't come across as bragging , I just wanted to share with you all.
