Quilting is a time consuming act of love... and it is hard to put a price on that. Good luck. You can ask your friend to give you a price instead of the other way around.

Dawn, you made a BEAUTIFUL quilt!! Perfect color combination!
I wouldn't have a clue about the price, what ever you charge, I know that you will be giving her a lot of love!!

LOVE this quilt!!!! Will definitely put this on my bucket list! ha!

In regards to the pricing...did I see somewhere on this site that someone recommended 5 times the amount of the cost of the materials? That's probably too much for your friend.

On the other hand if she does want to give you a fair price (one that you both agree on even if it's lower than what you might sell to others) you might consider letting her pay it out over a period of time. That way she can budget for it and stay within her means and you get paid a fair price.

It is a beautiful quilt, but I have no idea how much you should charge her. I agree with those that said to ask her what she thinks it's worth.

Maybe you could give her a price to pay in monthly installments. She may be able to afford your price easier and feel good about paying you a fair price.

This seems like a good way to handle it. Even if you figure your time at minimum wage (way below the skilled labor you put into it), she'll better understand how much it's "worth" and then you can discuss with her whatever you'd be willing to sell it to her for. You can decide to donate your labor if you like...

Sorry can't help you with a price but wanted to tell you that the quilt is soooo pretty!!!

figure out how much you have into it; include the price of backing, batting and thread...then see if (breaking even) is enough or if you want to add a little bit for your time. even for family members i try to at least break even. it just depends on the project, the person, how much time it took...deciding to charge for a profit is a very fine line. some people say take your cost's and triple them for a retail price, some people think you should charge by your time + materials...it is different for everyone's specific situation. but at least add up your costs and try to get that much.

How about $199.99 on time payments of 50.00 a month? Of course it's worth more. I always have negotiable terms for elders or single Mom's.

Has she mentioned a price she can afford? If she is on a fixed income I imagine that it will be difficult for her to pay much. I guess this one will be mostly like a gift with her paying for the out of pocket materials if you want her to have it.

It is a beauty and worth much more than she can pay, I am sure.
