Thank you everyone. Didn't make this with the intent to sell. Never sold a quilt so had no idea at all. Not sure I will sell it but maybe will quote $250 and see what happens.

I would say $250-$300. It's a beautiful quilt :)

Remember an old home Ec discussion that the cost of fabric and pattern was about 1/3 the value of the finished product, so $300 would be fair, I think. Your time is worth more than you realize, and if you tracked all of the time for planning, cutting, piecing and quilting, not to speak of part of the cost of your machines, supplies, etc, you would be shocked.

I don't know how things sell there but I would say $300. That is a lot of work involved.

Do you hate to part with it? charge more than $200. Do you really want to make another one and are not attached to this one? see if they will pay $200. Yes, it's worth more but will they pay it?

Beautiful quilt. I love the back.

My suggestion is that you should charge no less than $350. Do not undersell yourself. Look what some nice comforters are bringing in the high end department stores, and you know that the quality of sewing does not begin to compare with your sewing. If you charge $200, and people hear that, you may get more orders than you want. Charge enough to help cover your materials, time,experience and hidden costs of machine, electricity, thread, etc. It is a beautiful quilt and well worth it.

Thank you all so much. You sure do know how to boost a persons confidence. I have no real use for this quilt but I do love it. First one I completely finished myself. I did the FMQ myself on my domestic machine. The pinwheels are 3D and the flowers are yoyos. I even drew up the owl on the back. Haven`t quite made up my mind if I will sell it or not but at least now I can decide on a price to quote for the quilt.

I say $300.00!!!! Don't sell yourself short
