This one took a tiny bit longer to make, because of the photography and postings to my blog. But after all that, I still failed to time how long it took me. So when I try to price them, this is my thinking:
While I am making them, and they are taking so much of my time and my house is going crazy around me, I come up with some outrageous price in my head. I am going to charge $__________!!!!!! and someone will gladly plop that down for this magnificent creation.
Then I get it out of the dryer, it is just a quilt, I photograph it, it is seeming to shrink before my very eyes, and I take the price down a notch. All the time and hard work is forgotten, I just want to sell it so I can get on with life. I put in on Etsy and wait. Then when I sell one, I have to think, How much would they have paid? How much did I end up making an hour? Maybe a job at McDonald's would be more profitable?
