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.

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.
