Jan, I totally agree. What you're offering to do is *much* more than creating the quilt - your hard work and creativity in designing the shoes deserves to be recognized.
A little like asking Kaffe create a quilt for you from his fabric line - would be worth a whole lot more than the typical supplies x 3 formula
