CWBowser Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I hope you get what you wanted. The quilt is beautiful. The workmanship is exceptional. I hope you receive well over $1000. But I am guessing $950. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fineseams Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 To heck with the customer - I'd want to keep that beautiful quilt!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peglu Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Okay, here's how it goes in my area: Cost of materials x 2 for construction: 400 Custom quilting .025 sq/in: 324 Binding: 36 Total: $760 dollars. Waaaay less that it's worth. But, people don't want to pay. I do have to say, I have commisioned 3 quilts thus far for this price and more people wanting them. It's a decent chunk of change, but a lot of work. I haven't yet committed to another one yet. Too many things of my own that I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Surely if people don't want to pay you don't do the work? Things like this project I would be looking to get paid for properly. It's a lot of work and there aren't that many people who can do it to that standard. I'm more inclined to compromise on my quilting charge than on a big commission.

I am guessing in the $1,500 range sounds fair to me - or else I would want to keep it too!! Beautiful work - love the quilting and great piecing - worth every penny!! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I offered to piece a YBR and quilt it with CL Swirls (all inclusive, fabric, batting, etc) for about $600 and the gal ran so fast I thought she trained for the Olympics!

LibbyG Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 You should at least get $1300 for it! It's a stunning quilt and she'll be glad to pay it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 It is really sad that people have no concept of the amount of time, materials, etc. involved in making a beautiful quilt. They want the top of the line BEST, but they want it for a song. I have only made one whole quilt for someone else........a t-shirt quilt, using her t-shirts. I decided I would shoot her a price and if she didn't want to pay it, no skin off my nose. :>) I really wasn't all that excited about doing it anyway. I wrote out the bill showing every detail and left it with her to think about. A couple days later, she said she would take me up on it. I know I didn't charge near enough, but I got what I wanted out of it. I made a few bucks and she was happy, too. That wasn't near the amount of work that Dave-Jane have done.
