How much would you charge for an applique quilt like this in queen size?

Fabric is expensive. I am making a BOM quilt now and the fabric including the backing comes to $200 and then it still has to be quilting and needs batting. Around here longarm quilting runs from 200 or more if custom quilted so right there is $400 and then there is the labor involved in the making. How much do you want for labor?

People spend $1,000 up on Amish quilts. Why should we shortchange ourselves? That quilt is very labor intensive. I agree with the others and wouldn't charge less than $1,200. BTW the quilt it beautiful!
I would quote the price up front to her and maybe get a deposit to cover your materials first.

$1200. for the quilt and $200.00 for the shams or $1500.00. It's not the same AS BUYING A QUILT AT A SHOW. It is a CUSTOM QUILT DONE IN A SPACE OF TIME FOR ONE PERSON. That makes it worth more. Nothing less than $1500.00 for the set. It would be worth every penny. It is one beautiful quilt and all of the hand cutting of leaves, makes my hand hurt just thinking about it. LOL

I am only on page 3 of posts but just have to say....you are an artist! People pay extra ordinary amounts for art that is not half as beautiful as that is, so make up a price for the outstanding showpiece this will be and if she(the customer) doesn't want to pay that too bad for her...thats what the price of art is! On a personal note I think your quilts are the most beatiful I have ever seen!
