    Hey there kind brothas and sistahs! This is one of my newest creations, and I am having trouble coming up with a price. I have over 700 patches in it! $100 in high quality fabrics, and over 100 hours of work. Two appliques *one sea turtle with verigated thread shell and one rainbow heart sun with rays* One machine embroidery of a monarch butterfly, and a whole lotta love! Can any of you stichin' sisters or brothers help me come up with a price based on that? *each side panel has 353 2"x2" squares on it* I would also appreciate feedback on the design, colors, etc.

    that is totally outta control!!
    Great job mama!
    I am horrible at pricing stuff but i agree with $180..
    i think the colors and design are great...the colors are bright but the dark color makes it so its not toooooooo bright...
    super!
    good luck

    even $180 seems like a rip off...cuz we all know how much work that took..

    Thank you for your kind words and votes. No, I don't actually quilt...just wanted to make a ridiculously intricate design :)

    Really,I have no idea because think about it this way...$100 bucks for fabric,the additional $80 would be her profit...100 hours of work is worth more than $80. It's just going to be hard to price it,because it's just nice.

    Wow, that's amazing work. I agree 180 seems cheap for that. All the intricate designs, cuttings, hours and hours of work, the creativity, etc. you put into that. 180 would seem like it's stealing it.
    I would love to be able to sew like that.

    That is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I think you should price it at at least $200 for the hard work and detail you put into it. Hell, try to get a little more then that.....
    Good luck, it's a work of art! :)

    I think it's priceless, but if I had to I'd price it somewhere bt/wn $220-250 that is an amazing amount of detail. Symetrical, points match, embriodery, and appliques- stunning.
