It is a beautiful quilt, and you've done a super job of keeping it flat and straight.

How is it going to be quilted? Are you going to do that part too?

So basically when the client came to me, she paid half the cost up front so I could buy materials, and then I will get the other half when she gets the quilt in her hands. I charged her $400 plus shipping. Materials cost about $200. There were about eight yards of fabric for the quilt top and borders.

I have pictures posted on the second page of the borders ya'll. Have a dark navy border with a lace border ontop as per request from the client.

Thanks for the feedback. IF I ever do something this large again the client will PAY OUT THE NOSE becasue this kicked my trash! LOL

I think you should definetly raise your price, my mom paid almost $200.00 for the queen sized quilt she made, just to be machine quilted. Log cabin and blue are my favorites, have a blue log cabin on my bed that my mom made for me! You did a fantastic job!!!!!
