I like to finish quilts for people who have inherited quilts started by grandparents, parents, etc. In fact, this is what had me enroll in my first quilt class. I always show my finished product to all my friends and neighbors and sometimes get one or two custom orders for something similar. Likewise with gifts. I show the baby quilt to everyone and then see if anyone asks me about making them a quilt!

I charged $65 for finishing a queen quilt. I finished the quilting and added a binding.

I charge $125 to $150 for 45 to 57" quilts. Machine quilted.

My charity receives $225 for bed size quilts...I learned not to use extremely expensive fabrics for these.

I have a friend who charges $50 to hand quilt twin size quilts.

Hope this pricing info helps.

I have decided multiple smaller projects would probably bring more money for charity events... such as wall hangings, quilted purses, etc.

I do not have enough goods for a business web site and it is my understanding that free web sites do not allow selling. Am I correct?
