I guess it would depend on how long I thought it took you to make the bag, and I really have no clue how long it'd take you. So my guessimate would be about $25 for the bag?? (I hope that's not way too little... I would feel bad.)
I already follow your blog!
And I like your American Pinwheels quilt! I'd love to make a pinwheel quilt sometime!
I have no idea what to charge for things like this - but $25 or $30 seems like a bargain!
I think your cancer quilt is beautiful - and such a lovely gift for someone going through a hard time.
and I'm now following you =)
The bag is lovely! I would say $30 to $35.
I love the "all stars" quilt, it's a beauty!
I am a follower and big thanks for hosting a give away!
I already follow you girly!!
I would probably pay anywhere between 25 and 30 for the bag, i know that they take time and love to make them!!!!!
I love the pinwheel sampler quilt the best. You have made some pretty nice quilts. Very impressive.
I probably would pay 20 to 30 for the purse. It would largely depend on how much I liked the colors.
Wow what a gorgeous bag! I have no idea how much I would pay, the quality and workmanship of handmade items is always so much better than mass produced, and yet the price people are prepared to pay rarely reflects this!
I am a follower :)
I love your All Stars quilt, it is on my "to do" list!
I'm really not sure how much the bag would be worth because I don't crochet. I'll guess that with the yarn and your time it would have to be $25 at least. Add a bit for profit (bad word but you need to have some) and I would guess you would want at least $30 for it. I would pay that amount if I was looking to buy a nice bag.

I think that it would probably go for $25.00 in the current crafty market :)
My favourite quilt is Jared's Quilt. Love the subtleness and the greens.
Well I would probably pay $10-$15..but I can't really tell how big it is.
Your bag is lovely! I'm a tote addict - I think it would probably sell on etsy for about 25 to 30 dollars...Happy Advent!
I follow!
Lovely bag! If I saw it somewhere I would expect it to be priced at $25-$30.
I LOVE your All Stars quilt - the design and fabrics are just wonderful. Congrats on having a MBS project (a goal of mine for 2011).
Thank you for visiting Homemaker Honey! How nice to visit your blog, too!
Whenever I'm not sure about a price for one of my handmade items, I check on Etsy (etsy.com) and see what others are selling like items for...that helps a lot.
I don't know if your giveaway is open internationally or not. I'm in Australia. Just wanted to say it was great having you visit me today and enter my giveaway!

I would say $30 at least. You should check other Etsy sites to see if you should go a bit lower or higher. I love all your quilts! I can't pick a fav.
I would think around the $25 mark for the bag.
TY for visiting my blog

Crochet Bag Price: If I were to sell it in Portland(OR), this bag would command twice what I can sell it for in Canbyland (20 miles south). And, I am totally frugal and a "I could make this myself" type person. I have to really love it to pay 'retail'. Etsy seems to mirror Portland's prices.
So - right off; I was thinking $20 so I am guessing Etsy would be $39.
Incidentally, I love the colors in the bag.
I love the idea of the surprise !!!
For the bag, I think 30-35 euros would be something honnest...
What a cool bag! I would think that $25-30 seems like an appropriate range. Looks like most of the commenters here agree with me. Glad to have you as a new follower too! :)
I became a follower !
the pinwheel sampler quilt is my favourite (and just in case I don't win the giveaway, you can send me the quilt, it will do ! Sorry, I could not help !)
This is a great bag! I knit something similar last year and gave it as a Christmas gift. I am thinking in my head $20 which probably means that it's really worth more than that because I tend to underestimate. I think the "rule" is to triple the amount you spent on the goods to make the item.
My favorite one is the framed and mini framed quilt.
Thanks for visiting/following my blog and for entering the giveaway!
p.s. lovely bag! I've crocheted things before and know they take time and effort! I think I would probably pay at a start $25, and depending on size and colors, go up from there.
Also, I like your Berries and Cream quilt and the wedding quilt you did!
I'm very cheap, but it is a pretty bag. Hmmm. Maybe 20-30 dollars?
I'm curious about the surprise. Will it come so beautifully wrapped?
I love bags, but I'm so bad at pricing! $20?
Thanks for entering my giveaway and becoming a follower! Have a great day!
Great bag - thanks for letting me in on the draw!
What I'd pay for a handmade crocheted bag... Hmm!...probably about $30.00.
Thanks for dropping by my blog and entering my giveaway as well... you have me intrigued with the surprise... i LOVE surprises! :)
Thanks for commenting on my blog!
I have really no idea what to charge for a bag like this. To be completely honest I would probably not buy it as I crochet myself. ;-) But I know it does take a bit of time to make something like this. And for myself it would take so much time that it would be pointless trying to sell it. ;-)

It's is so hard to decide on a price, I would probably say $25- $30.
It's a lovely bag! If I do happen to be the lucky winner you can contact me through my blog www.radseams.com/blog
Hello,
I used to have a crochet bag and it was so handy because it's expandable. I would pay about $35. Not that it's not worth more but at that price I'd buy it. I love your gold present. I wonder what it is...
it looks like it would be great for shopping too! $20-30 would be a nice range i think!
i'm a new follower! (and i see that we were in the siggy swap together - i'm the dork whose blocks were lost in shipping!)
i can't choose a favorite quilt, they are all lovely! the teacher mini quilts are really sweet though!
Oh my goodness...your talent is AMAZING!!! Quilting is something that I just can't get into, but you have definitely inspired me!! I really love ALL of your quilts, but I would narrow it down to the Tulips or the American pinwheels...divine!! I am terrible AWFUL with pricing, I really have a hard time pricing my own stuff, but everyone seems to be in agreement that $20-$30 is the right price...so let's go with that! :) Thanks for visiting and good luck with all of the giveaways!
OH you are clever to crochet a whole bag, I can do scarves and things. Perhaps it's worth $20-$25??? I don't know, I would definately investigate if I saw it at a market.
Your blog is lovely, thank you for visiting my giveaway too.
Hey sugar! I think I would put a price point of $45 on the bag - knowing the time and materials cost - that would be a fair price. =) xoxo BTW - ITS BEAUTIFUL!
I follow you! <3
Beautiful bag! Thanks for entering my giveaway. I think that you should sell it for $25- $30 but I have never learnt to crochet so I have no idea how much it cost to make and the time it takes :s Sorry!
I <3 get framed! =)
I dont have near as many followers as you, but I blogged you!
Check it out! xoxoxo

I love your pinwheel quilt!
I love the bag! Not sure how much they'd go for, but maybe $20-25 or so? The colors are really pretty. Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
I love your teacher appreciation quilts - I am a former teacher and would have loved one from a student's family! :)

I agree with the $25-$30 price range for basic yarn. If it's made with high quality yarn then $35-$40. I would suggest material cost + $8/hour labor (minimum) = base price. Tack on at least an additional 10% for profit and there's probably a good starter price.
