Re: How much would you charge?
I make and sell rag rugs mostly for babies and children. I use three layers of flannel and no batting. My baby quilts are approximately 45x60 and I sell them for $75. I used to sell them for $65 but the cost of flannel has gone up. I don't bind them. When I am finished sewing the rows together I sew a double row of stitching around the perimeter and then clip that area also. Karen is correct, it depends on what you pay for your supplies. I doubt you could get $200 for a 72 inch square rag quilt.
I make my seams about 3/4" so I end up with luxurious fringe. The quilt in the picture is pretty but looking at it closely it needs more fringe or more layers. To me it looks out of proportion. There's way to little fringe for that size square. I hope I didn't offend anyone..that was not my intention. Wider seams mean your blocks need to be a bit larger. I wash my quilts twice before I sell them so I can deal with the worst of the lint and the soap and fabric softener are also supplies.
