I didn't count the shirts so not sure what it would come out to but I know someone who makes t-shirt quilts and charges $20/shirt (that includes all materials, assembly and long arm quilting)...looks like you might have used some fronts and backs so not sure if she would make that 2 shirts in her count or not...

I think the $1000 - $1500 sounds fair. Great quilt.

No idea for the cost. Great quilt. BrendaK

Thanks for your comments. No I don't have an "agreement" but they are 'aware' of the potential cost. I know they want to compensate me fairly. I will research websites of those who do advertise and make these as a business. I do not want to sell myself short. All the other quilts I've made were gifts. I suspect I will ask in the range of $1000 to $1500. I work two part time jobs along with raising a teenager with my quilting on the side. My time is very valuable and my skills and talent, even though they are a gift, are valuable too. Thanks. Anita
I hope your customer appreciates the beautiful job you did. |
I charge $500 Plus expense of batting, extra fabric for filler blocks and thread. A twin I did was $875 all told - and the lady didn't bat an eye! Shocked me all to pieces that the extra expense was so much.
I tell them the price up front - and usually they are stunned that it costs so much. |
These links may be helpful in establishing what you charge as well as to show the customer what others charge. I would think $500 is way too little for this quilt and would honestly charge more. The problem is you didn't discuss price/budget with the buyer and this could lead to some sticker shock. To justify the higher price: It is very complex with lots of different sizes, has an elaborate piano key border and you incorporated the dress in the middle of it.
