I googled a bit and found people who make t-shirt quilts. The first link doesn't include pricing on the site but gives good info on how to cut the t-shirts, etc...

The next 3 give pricing and as you see, they vary greatly. Some don't include machine quilting costs either. Read carefully. I think it has to do with demographics. I know in the instance of machine quilting, for the same service such as a simple allover pantogragh design, you can find a difference between $50 to $150 on a queen size quilt. I speak from personal experience. I charge about $3 sq/ft, while someone in a less affluent area can only charge $1.50 sq/ft and the client will still bawlk (sp?) at the price.

Basically, you should charge what you think you're worth; $5/hr-$10/hr-$15/hr, etc... Don't undersell yourself, because this first quilt could lead to a dozen more and you'll be swamped with orders and making less than minimum wage. This price can or doesn't include things like materials (thread, sashing/border fabric, interfacing,batting) and/or quilting.
