Quilting question
 

How do I go about charging for making a tee shirt quilt? If someone could help I would be so grateful.

Prices vary from area to area :-) I am not a huge fan of doing TShirt quilts so I charge $20 per shirt with 12 shirt minimum, this includes interfacing, batting, backing, quilting and a label. I usually only do a basic pattern, sashing around each block with corner stone or just sew the shirts together. Good Luck and hope that helps you out a bit :-)

Here are a couple posts to get you going:

Remember there are added expenses with T-shirts such as stabilizer and the extra labor to prepare them.

Charge $15-20 per square.

Tee quilts are very involved if done well. I personally wash the shirts to remove any fabric softener, stabilize each square with iron-on tricot backing, furnish all backing, batting, and sashing materials, and custom quilt around each design in each square with invisible thread. I charge $20/shirt, and sometimes, considering the labor-intensive process, that IS NOT ENOUGH!!! Here's a photo of my last one---example of NOT ENOUGH because the customer wanted a collage which made the measuring/cutting process a real chore.

I have made a number of memory quilts from baby clothes or the clothing of a relative that has passed away. I find they can be more time intensive than first imagined. I like the pricing schedule others have suggested. All the best.
