Made for Charity

I made a centerpiece mat and set of yo-yo coasters for a charity auction for a charity organization I used to work for. You can see them in the picture. I may make more for my Etsy store. However, I have no idea how to price the two items together. If I had more fabric, I would offer custom orders.
But, anyway, I hope these bring in something at the auction. Polaris Prject is a great organization.

That is beautiful and I simply love it! I wish that I could tell you what to price it as but I am not sure how much to price it as as I am not sure how much the fabric for that would cost, and it appears it has stuffing, or is that just the way it's made? I am not knowledged in quilting, so sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Now you said in shades of blue but one looks kind of tan, are you talking about the coasters?

It has some batting in it. The fabric was not that much. And when I buy fabric I buy it on sale. The only thing that would make it pricy is that is all hand sewn. No machinery. Just lots of stabbed fingers.
Hopefully this is a better shot.

That would be hard to calculate as any given project (one that you say can be customized on etsy) could have more stabbed fingers then say the original. Yes the image is cleaned up and it looks even more beautiful. I'm not sure why it looked different, did you use the flash on the second shot or did you just clean it up in a image program? I know that sometimes it's hard to tell when to use the flash, it can be daylight and bright in a room but you might still need flash (I know I have taken a photo that needed flash but I didn't think it did).
Anyway, Those are beautiful! I hope you can figure out a price! Is your etsy in your profile?

I like those. I never had the patience to make the yo yo's. As for pricing them consider this. If you used scraps that are too small for any other project, figure your time. Set an hourly price on your time and multiply that by two. Or figure the price of one yard of material plus you time.
