Then I roughly estimate how much yardage it would take to make. A quilt that large I would use 8 yards as a base. Then I times that number by the cost of fabric per yard. Most fabrics at my quilt shop are between 9 and 12 bucks a yard, so I would use 10.50 as a median. So if that kit was in my shop for $75 I would think it was a ok deal based on $10 a yard.Jay in Nebraskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01228519106304409026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011835609379026815.post-66843532648740943542012-01-27T22:58:12.786-05:002012-01-27T22:58:12.786-05:00You are wise to schedule quilts and pace yourself....You are wise to schedule quilts and pace yourself. I didn't do that for the first 10 years I quilted for others and boy I went through burn out big time and a very hard time getting in the mood to quilt for anyone. Deep down I resented not having time to sew or quilt for myself. It was nobody's fault but mine I guess I just had to learn that lesson the hard way.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095600739280991135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011835609379026815.post-51283144522823052492012-01-27T22:47:47.309-05:002012-01-27T22:47:47.309-05:00Your work is so pretty!

You're always in demand and you do such a nice job on them. My aunt bought a Voyager a couple of years ago to do her own quilts and the next thing she knew, she was in business and now has no time for her own stuff. You'll get them done.

...Oh my gosh! Your suppers always sound so so good!<br /> and about that kit, I don't know for sure but $75 for a quilt that size sounds good to me. It is a very nice looking quilt..love that pattern!<br />I know what you mean about needing some quilting time of your own. Maybe you could set hours (or days) to only work on clients quilts. Like before lunch 3 days a week. Any other time would be your quilt time. Maybe it would work. I am so like you..if I'm not enjoying it I will put it off til the last second;)Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04169177502494898231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011835609379026815.post-13624406726934134852012-01-27T17:13:25.104-05:002012-01-27T17:13:25.104-05:00It would give me stress to have that many quilts p...It would give me stress to have that many quilts piled up to do. But, yes, it is a blessing that you have them to do.<br />I've never bought a quilt kit, so I am no help as far as pricing goes.<br />Got a laugh about you always walking away from the quilt and putting things off until the last minute. I hear ya!<br />Another delicious dinner menu.
