You know your area better. I always say if both the seller and buyer are happy with the price, then it is the right one.

BTW,,,Great quilt..My DD is a musician and I have some musical fabric. Thank you for reminding me......

I wouldn't sell it for less than $225, but if you feel it must be less then double the cost of materials and charge that.

We had on about your size recently for our church youth silent auction. 20 of us made blocks and put it together. it brought 400.00. We were thrilled as was our youth director.

Wow! That's so awesome! I have no idea what to sell it for, I'm just not wanting to price it so high that it just sits there. I want it to move! LOL

And my husband is a bass player so when I saw this fabric at Joann's I got inspired.

you should charge more! At least 2- 2.5 time the cost of the material!!

Actually the $100 is 2.5X the price of the fabric...lol

That's how I would price it, too.
