And its finally done!!

It was starting to feel like I would never get this custom quilt done, but finally I reached the end! Its done, I have given it to my friend, she loved it and I have been paid.
Funny about that - I did some math and not including anything for my time, I paid $191.00 not including any taxes for all the materials, batting and thread. I was paid $175.00 total for the quilt.
So I lost about 25 bucks and a lot of time - but she loves it and her daughter is going to love it and at least I got some money.
Here it is:

Cheers,
Carolyn

  2. That's looks great! Although I'm sorry you ended up out of pocket on it. However, perhaps it will bring you a lot more paid work and you can charge a fair price next time. Most people just don't realize how expensive it is to make a quilt, especially when you use quality materials. But it really did turn out nice and is one of a kind as well.

  3. It looks wonderful and I guess the payment comes in the form of knowing someone will love it.

  4. It is fantastic Carolyn- I love the original design and the great fabrics that you chose. I am sure her daughter is going to love it.
    Hope you are having some good creating time this weekend. I found some more quilting fabrics for the music quilt so I hope to do some more work on it this weekend.
    Warmest regards,
    Anna

  5. Lucky Erin - I'm sure she'll love it! It's so difficult to charge a fair price for quilts isn't it? I'm really sorry you're out of pocket on this one and hope it brings more orders which will earn something for your time.
