Pricing Examples
So, what will this project cost?
The cost of completing your quilt project depends on a multitude of factors. More complex quilting (custom treatments) require greater time and design effort than edge-to-edge designs. I generally charge by the square inch of quilt top, and I offer additional services if desired, such as attaching binding, piecing backing, and multiple thread colors. Listed below are some typical examples to help guide your choices. Please contact me for more specifics about my pricing.
Please note that I have a $50 minimum charge per quilt.
