I need to place a fair price on this wall hanging - what do you think it would sell for? It's made of HST's throughout and SITD for quilting as well as lines quilted in the border area. I have someone intersted in buying some and I don't have a clue what to charge without giving them away. Thank you!!!

I would be very interested in knowing this, also. Gosh, that is very pretty, and I love the burgundy in it. How big is it?

Rule of thumb is usually 3 times what the materials cost you.
So, say you paid $10 for all fabric and whatnot, then $30 would be the price. BUT, with that said, are there places in your area that sell these items? If so, check those out and see what they charge.
Now, with that said...I'd charge no less than $50, but then again, I don't know the size.

I find it hard to set prices. Being from a big city, I know you'd get $75.00 to $100.00 for it. Living in a small, depressed area now, you MAY get $10.00!!!! You did a great job! BTW - how big IS it???

i have to agree so much of this is based on location and the amount of effort you put into the project.

i charge anywhere from $50-$100 a square foot depending on how much i've embellished the quilt.

I have to be one of the worse to price things, but I think it is great.
