What a tough question. Good luck with making your decision making. The quilt is really beautiful. Will you please post a picture after it's quilted?

Your quilt is stunning. After reading the responses above, I would have to agree with two ... if this person is a close, dear friend, either give it as a gift or consider the idea of a barter. In the end, you must do what is in your heart.

Thank you every one for your help :D .

I did give her one she has been eyeing for awhile for her birthday in July. She has commissioned a quilt from me before too made from her deceased hubby's shirts and loved it.

I orginally made this for a wedding gift, for my daughter but thought it was waayyy to light in color and started over in darker colors. (they loved the one I gave them more anyway) So, it was just hanging in my closet and I need the room! :lol:

I was also thinking I can even live with it being under priced because it isn't the money I am concerned with, I know she loves my quilts and will take very good care of it. She already has 3 of them. But just needed an idea of what to charge. She is re-doing her guest room.

I do need to charge something as it was a lot of work, but then it was good practice too. :lol:

My DH says I don't charge enough either.

Given this info I would calculate the charges and show her what you have in it and tell her you want just to cover your costs.
Maybe she can add in something that is a specialty of hers, an apple pie or something like that.

Love the quilt! Being that it is queen size and your going to quilt it, I would say somewhere between $300-$500. Its easy for me to say, but if I had to tell a friend it would be hard.

I don't know about pricing, but it is lovely!!

This is an awkward situation for sure. If it's a dear friend, like you say, AND she's on a fixed income, could you give the quilt to her or exchange/barter with her? Maybe she has something you'd like or can do something for you! That way you won't feel like you didn't get enough and she won't feel strapped for cash --- just a suggestion.

Oh my goodness! That is beautiful. I don't know how you will part with it, I don't think I could. As for pricing, if you aren't sure of her finances, maybe you could ask her how much she thought she would be able to pay for it. I am always giving my quilts away, so any money would probably be fine with me, but you may do this as a business??? Good luck.

Me too. I wouldn't be able to part with it.

Me too, I generally give them as gifts.
