I'm not in Australia...but thinking about 16.00 American per yard there..
For a generous queen size (104 x 104"), look at 240.00 for quality fabrics, 10.00 for sewing thread, 20.00 for quilting thread, 25.00 for poly batting...

So $295.00 USD to assemble a quilt. You time is not included.

If you were to have, say me make your quilt (and I'm not as highly priced as some)..I'd charge 150.00 to assemble the top and about 200.00 to quilt the quilt...and another 60.00 to do the binding.

So, about $645.00 USD to make a generous queen size quilt.

I know there will be many variables cause every quilt is different, but say you wanted to make yourself a quilt next month - how much would you want to budget so see this project to completion (assuming you are going to quilt it yourself)

I will attempt to quilt it myself and cut out my own fabric from yardage.

Cause I figure I gotta start preparing for my first.
