** The cost of any quilt is determined by how it was made and the materials used to make it.

Quilts are also Artwork and labors of love. Depending on style a quilt top & quilting will take a worker between 2 days and 2 months to complete each one from the start to finish. There is also a great deal of fabric and materials that are required to complete a quilt which are not inexpensive. For a queen size quilt – material cost are these.

Fabric quilt top ( 8 yards) Fabric quilt back (7 yards) and ½ yard for the quilt binding 15.5 yards x 7.00 or a little more than 100.00.

The labor to do the patchwork also requires usually many days, and add another ½ day of specialized seamstress time for the quilting and binding and you will see why the price is what it is.

We will note that if you have a standard 100” x 100” quilt ( which is almost 70 sf.) a 300.00 quilt is only 4.25 per square foot. At 200.00 this is only 2.85 per sq ft.

Now price anything durable for your home ( like laminate flooring, counter tops, carpeting) and you will see that the price per sf. Of the much more labor intensive handmade quilt is very similarly priced.
