    This is my quilt #4....I am going to set up a booth at our fall festival. Won't have tons of stuff but this is my first thing. It is a pink and green baby girl quilt. All flannel front and back, very middle block has an embroidery on it.

    How much can you sell something like this for? I have about $13 in the materials and about a weekend (leisurely) in work. Did not work all day or anything. Really about 4 or 5 hours total.

    Measures approx 36 wide by 48 long. Good for a crib....
    What do you think?
    How much would you do?

    I know we put all that time in our quilts and are so protective, but , we don't get paid for our work. If u get $40 for it, you should be happy. Work your crowd and get them interested, do more top stitching etc. then raise your prices. jmo

    I think $40-$50 should be a reasonable price. If it doesn't sell for that and you have a buyer just pineing over it, maybe tell them to come back later and if you still have it, you can "talk" price.

    Yeap $40.00 at the least since it's usually 3 times the cost of materials. Makes me sick that that would go for only $40.00 if you do the math well really $39.00 that is why i never sold my afghans if I spent $60.00 on the material who would pay $180.00? NO ONE so I never tried to sell.

    So $40.00 is more than reasonable, you'd pay that at Walmart and it's not as nice, tell them that.

    I agree with the $40.00 range. Its not much and it wouldmake me sick for it to go for so little, but you may have lots of people competing over it cause its so cute!

    Wow, you guys are great. I knew you would know the answer. I may even get ahold of a Penneys catalog and cut a picture and price of something comparible out.

    I really appreciate the kind words and feedback.
    Thanks so much,
    Tracy

    That is really cute! I love the colors. You shouldn't have any trouble selling it.
