Fall Into a Quilt-A-Long Block 8 — 2 Comments

  1. What a gorgeous block. Love those little dots! And it looks so wonderful with your other blocks.

    As far as what to charge for a quilt, figure the cost of the fabric, batting, and thread. Add the cost for quilting, even if you did it yourself. Then add the cost of your labor. This size quilt should cost about $200 in materials, so I’d probably charge about $300 or so for it. Yes, she may not want it at that cost, but that’s OK because then she’ll know what the actual value is. And using the actual value prevents you from becoming a sweatshop girl, making quilts for pennies for all your friends.

    • Thank you for your advice Jennifer. Since this started out as a hobby for me –albeit an expensive one– I really didn’t know what to tell my friend. But you are right, I put many hours of labor into my quilts.I will tell her and see if she is willing to pay that price.
