Not sure this would help but a good friend of mine is charging about $1000 to make an all white quilt with every block different and with fabric manipulation. She does quilt as you go with fancy stitches too. She has been working on it for over 6 mo now but not steady. She makes it up as she goes.

I too would rather have something finished and priced before being asked "Can I buy it when you finish it?" type question.
If you were providing the fabric $800 - $1200 would not be unreasonable.
OK taken in account your geographical location and the price point around there take the prices given here and adjust accordingly. Whatever I do not think you should give your time away and it looks like the bottom line might be around $500 - $600. (I would never do it for that, but then if it was a close friend I might consider it).

hear, hear! Having seen your work numerous times.
oops, I was agreeing with mad quilter who said 'more than what the customer might be willing to pay'. I think your work is worth every penny you would consider asking and more.

Basic price for custom quilts is $15/square foot of finished quilt. This cost includes fabric, preparation, piecing, quilting and finishing.

And that doesn't include "custom design" fees, either. Hmmm...
