We're right with you on this subject. Most people don't understand how much time and material goes into making a quilt. I recently contracted 2 memory quilts. They supplied all the material so I just supplied my labor. One was 30x45 and was a family member so I only charged her $80 for my labor. I normally would have charged $130. The other one was a rag quilt (from mom's nightgowns), about 45x60. I quoted $20 for the batting and she paid me $170. She said she knows what goes into making these quilts. So, bottomline, don't sell yourself short. If you do, you'll feel short-changed and not enjoy the project. Don't give your talent away. Real customers are out there and if you promote yourself, they'll find you. Hope this helps. Vicki
