    I charge friends and extended family for materials (including fabric, batting, thread, etc.) times 2. It doesn't pay me for all my time, but I do it because I love it, and I love that they have asked me to create something for them. I like that quilt!! Pretty colors!!

    Awesome job I can see why she wants to buy it. Don't know a price though I don't think you can put a price on this work.

    I like that plan, it is VERY reasonable and shows your time is worth something (although, I don't think we can ever really cover the cost of our time!)

    And, Dawn, I love that quilt. It is beautiful!!!

    Since I give most of my quilts away...for a dear friend, I might ask her to pay for the supplies and what ever more she feels she can afford. Monthly installments for a set amount of time might be do-able. Sue T

    This is the ONE quilt I would love but doubt that I will ever make. In coming up with a fair price.... if it is more than she can handle at one time.... let her pay for it a little each month until it is paid off. I would do it that way if it were me. That is such a beautiful and historic pattern. Let us know what you decide.

    I have had this question several times and have been told 3x's all your materials used that should cover some of your time. But when it is a close friend I agree with the others what you give in love comes back to you ten fold.

    I would not charge her anything and give it to her as a gift of love for her friendship.That is just my opinion.I am sure that she will always treasure it.

    I might be tempted to give it to an older friend on a fixed income. But if you do charge her a little bit, so she will feel at least she paid something, I'd try to make it clear she is NOT to advertise the price and that you will not honor that price for annyone else!
