Here's a description of why quilts cost what they do. Even though it may seem as if these quilts are pricey the actual cost of quilts is higher than what I charge.
Why Do Quilts Cost So Much?
Costs for materials, construction, & finishing for a 65" x 65" throw quilt.
Materials for a throw quilt
Fabric for the top:
6 yds @ 11 yd = $66
5 yds backing @ $13 = $65
2 yds batting @ $11 = $22
5/8 yd for binding @ $11 = $6.88
TOTAL Cost for Materials = $159.88
Construction
(labor based on $10/hr)
Making the top:
(includes preparing the fabric, cutting the pieces, sewing the blocks, setting into rows, adding borders)
50 hours x $10/hr = $500
Assembling the quilt sandwich:
3 hours @ $10/hr = $30
Quilting on Domestic Machine:
(charged by square inch in a simple all over design)
4225 si x $.015 = $63.38
Thread for quilting - $15
TOTAL Cost for Construction = $768.26
Finishing
Making the binding:
2 hours x $10 = $20
Attaching the binding:
10 hours x $10 - $100
TOTAL Finishing Costs = $120
TOTAL COST OF QUILT = $1,048.14
Note: A larger quilt, a more intricate pattern, a more elaborate quilting design will cause the price to increase.
