Default T shirt Graduation quilt

Ready to quilt this for a graduate. It's my first t- shirt quilt for commission. How do you decide on what you charge? I've put nearly 40 hours in already.

Wow! That took some creativity to put it together. I have no idea how you would figure a price on it.

Very nice quilt and you did a wonderful job on it. Did you and the purchaser decide on a price before you started? Make it a fair price for you as you put a lot of time in on this project.

Super t-shirt quilt! I have no idea how you'd bill for your efforts but know it would never be enough I'm in the midst of arranging a t-shirt quilt right now (for family) and know there's a bit of extra math involved. At least it feels that way doing this for the first time.

Again - awesome finish!

Great top! It is hard to get what a quilt is worth unless you have agreed upon an amount before you start. You can figure out fabric, batt, backing, thread and see what that comes to. It would be nice to at least make minimum wage but few people want to pay for your time.

$275 pops into my head... I would quilt it minimally, too. Great work!

No idea on price. I give most of my quilts away. Never sold a one.

You did a great job on it.

I'm not a very gutsy person so I would settle for whatever they decide to pay if a price hadn't been agreed upon beforehand. I made a quilt for a friend and she suggested a price beforehand and asked me to make it for that. Since she was a dear friend, I didn't take any money for making it for her to give to her daughter. She also was a widow on a limited income. I grudgingly made the quilt and shipped it to her. She passed away within a week of receiving it. After that experience I make quilts and give them as gifts on special occasions.
