Log Cabin Cross quilt
Anyone have tips for making 1 of these? I have had someone ask if I would do a king size. I'm trying to come up with a ballpark cost for her & am thinking $1200+ for all supplies, my work & long arm quilting.
I think that price will scare her off but also don't do cheap.

I agree with Susie that you can make log cabin blocks and the arrangement will make the cross. I usually get my graph paper out and draw it up first and the price is a very fair price considering all that you are doing. good luck to you

Whoa. I wouldn't do a king for any less than $1200. That's a lot of work!! A lot of time. A lot of fabric. Is it something you want to do? Whatever you charge, word will get out. Make sure you value your work highly or no one else will.

I have checked the other threads & they are for wall hangings. I did find a pattern on Crafty that went from wall hanging to twin. Then found a queen on Etsy. Now most of the math will be handled. I am not thrilled to do a King sz.
& hope she will decide on a wall hanging. Thank you for your tips.

Log Cabin Cross update
Saved by the price. I wasn't excited about making a King size but did find a couple of patterns, 1 was queen size. Gave the woman that asked for it the price of $1200. Gave the amount of fabric at $12-13 per yard & the cost of long arm quilting starting at $260. The next day a text came saying that was more than she thought it would be & couldn't afford it right now since they are building but Thank you.
