T shirt Graduation quilt
#14
One of my guild members does many t-shirt quilts. Just this Saturday, I overheard her say $500. I think that was $500 plus the cost of backing and batting. She makes me laugh. After each t-shirt quilt she declares that this is the last one! Then a couple of weeks, not months, later she is working on another because she can use the money! She stews and grumbles and proceeds to make a beautiful collage of shirts to honor someone!

I don’t quilt for others...it’s always hard to get compensated fairly for the time and effort that go into quilts. You did a fantastic job incorporating so many T-shirts and color arrangement...I love the border, it brings it all together nicely.

Thanks for your comments. No I don't have an "agreement" but they are 'aware' of the potential cost. I know they want to compensate me fairly. I will research websites of those who do advertise and make these as a business. I do not want to sell myself short. All the other quilts I've made were gifts. I suspect I will ask in the range of $1000 to $1500. I work two part time jobs along with raising a teenager with my quilting on the side. My time is very valuable and my skills and talent, even though they are a gift, are valuable too. Thanks. Anita
