The Studio

As we are coming up on National Quilt Month let’s look at the cost to make a quilt. Many people are surprised at how much goes into making one. The chart above gives you a look at the average cost to make a full size quilt. This is just the material costs and doesn’t take into account the time it takes to select the fabric, cut the patches, sew the pieces together, join the design, quilt the layers and bind the quilt. Many, many hours of labor go into a quilt. That is why the costs of a quilt can seem high. But when you consider all that goes into making a beautiful quilt the price is worth it! Next week, during National Quilt Month, we will be holding a sample quilt sale….selling the samples we have made for classes at The Studio. The quilts we will offer will go for basically the cost of the material. That will be a great deal so be sure to watch for the sale to start soon.
