What would you charge?
#1
I have been asked to make a denim quilt, I cut the jeans, and it will be about 60" square.
Flannel backed. I will do QAYG for the rows, then each section (9 sections, for easy handing), will do Cotton Theory and pull the back flannel fabric to the front.
I want a little pow to it, so will do a few pinwheels with the flannel and denim.
I told the customer $90 total, that is $1 per inch.
What do you think? Did I overcharge, am I cheating myself, or was that about right?
Thanks. She caught me off guard, so I hadn't had time to think about it. She was happy with that amount, and has told me I can do whatever I want. She just wants something to cover up with while watching TV.

If the sale flannel doesn't seem right, I can go more expensive, then do less pinwheels so I don't need as much fabric.
So, I guess my "wage" is $70, if I spend $20 on flannel.

Also, she is in no hurry. But I am, I want to get it done in the next couple months, so I can use my "wage" to buy more fabrics and get some wedding gifts done by September.

Is she cutting down the jeans? That can be time consuming.
Do you think you can get it made in 7 hours or so? That would make your hourly pay $10 / hour. You'll have to decide what your time is worth.
IF you don't want to get roped into making more similar projects at the same rate, let her know that this is a special for her since she's a friend -- not your usual rate.
