You would have though I had three heads. I figured out the cost:
9 fat quarters - $18.00
Backing - $15.00
Borders - $5.00
Batting - $11.00
Thread - $2.50
Total - $51.50
Per quilt plus time. So, I think that is generous gift.
It is very generous!
A old friend asked me make a quilt for her new grand-baby. I emailed her what the materials would cost "approximately". I sent her some links for quilt pattern ideas to choose from. I did not mention "labor" charges. This was 2 weeks ago. I never heard back from her! Now maybe she has not had time to research what she wants me to make for her but after I did a follow up email , still no answer. I think this is a dead issue now. Whatever...I don't have time to make one esp is she waits too much longer. (she is not in my current social circle, someone from my past circle.)
