I think that 2 and a half times the fabric is a VERY fair price. It should be more, but too many people do not realize how much labor goes into making a quilt. I have never kept track of the hours I put in to a quilt. I think I will on the next one I start, It will be interesting to know

I would start with the higher amounts and come down a little if needed.

The price of a quilt is always too little or too much, I think. You might want to check www.quiltsforsale.com to compare your quilt with others. I was a bit surprised to see what some of the quilts fetched and so many of them are awesome and also many fairly plain. If I'd done your quilt, I'd want $300.

I've always heard a good rule of thumb is twice the cost of the fabric. Love your quilt,btw.

nice quilt! wait until you tell them the price and find out they were thinking about $35.00! I made a SBS one for a lady at work and the fabric cost about $100.00 but i only told her it would be $50.00. She refused to buy it!! duh! I finally sold it to another worker for $75.00. sigh. never again.

Three times the cost of materials and supplies has served me well when selling any hand crafted items.
