Price Example


This is a queen size quilt that I quilted for my sister on my longarm machine.  I wish this photo was a close-up but I wanted to show the entire quilt!




Here is a picture of the back.  It shows the quilting in better detail.  I quilted in the ditch around the triangle blocks that make up the flower portion of the basket.  I used parallel lines to give the basket detail.  In the bottom triangle, I freehanded a dragonfly with heart-shaped wings.  In the side blocks I freehanded two daisies joined with a swirl.  For the inside border I quilted a diamond shaped crosshatch.  The block pattern is repeated throughout.

 
This is a detail of the borders.  You can see the diamond shaped crosshatching on the floral and blue borders.  I alternated freehand daisies and dragonflies connected with swirls.
 
Price example for this quilt:
 
Example:  108”x92” = 9936 sq. inch
Stitch in the ditch, block inserts, crosshatching
@ $0.03/sq. inch = $298.08
Plus separate border @ $5.00 = $303.08
Plus machine binding @ $0.20/ linear inch
400 linear inches = $80.00
Total = $383.08
I have a detailed price list that I will post in the next couple days. 
Thanks for checking my site out!
