I think this idea is the best. I agree we should charge to cover the cost of supplies and our labor. However if we get to greedy and charge too much, then you will not be able to sell anything. In these times people are looking for a good deal.

I certainly am glad she didn't wont to spend that much money! You would have been selling yourself so short!!
I think that design, material, and your work are worth over $3000.00 for that project. I've see lesser works go for a lot more.

Just a thought - but do you get your quilts appraised? Might be some useful information in case this same type issue comes up again. Surely it will, as you do beautiful work. I would be curious in learning how much an appraiser would set for the lap size leaf applique that you did. (Which would give you an idea of the value set for a queen size version.) With professional written appraisals for your quilts, plus the information regarding what it cost you to buy everything to make each one, plus what you normally charge to LAQ you would have a valuable tool to use in the future. Not only that, but you will also be able to show your client why the quilt you are doing for her/him should be appraised and insured.

What ever you charge probably still will not be enough for all the labor and love you put into it.

You definitely should get a thousand for it. Figure out cost of fabric, batting and backing your normal charge for queen quilting then go from there. I think you'll be surprised how much your cost is. It is beautiful.

An arm and a leg and her firstborn grandchild. That still would not be enough.

Pretty quilt! No idea about what to charge though, sorry.

I would say between $600.00 and 800. I actually think it is worth more but I am taking into conisderation our economic crisis. Your work is impeccable.
