How much would you charge to make this?

It does look very labor intensive, cost is up to an individual, but the least I would charge would be $20.00 per hour and to give her an estimate I would over estimate, final price can always be less than the quote.
As she has provided the kit, I would guess that should be all the needed fabric for the top, include a clause that if the fabric is short (as it can be) you will need to add that cost and your time in finding and purchasing the fabric.
Good luck, it is a beautiful quilt pattern and look forward to seeing your progress on it.

I have a book with this pattern and I've wanted to make it forever but don't know if I'll ever get to it. I like the way they "staggered" the pine trees boughs. As I recall the geese are all appliqued. It's a gorgeous quilt. I hope your client will appreciate all the work that will go into making it.

I would want to get her past the 'sticker shock' before I started on it.
The written agreement and ?half down? is a good idea. If she doesn't want to you will know she might not have been prepared. Some who don't quilt do not know the expense and labor involved.
